Residents in Broadhurst Grove have united to try to stop their green space being lost
The council has not yet been able to determine why a parcel of land it had been maintaining for four decades had not been transferred to its ownership.
As previously reported, Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council acknowledged that an error meant the village green off Broadhurst Grove was not transferred from the developer to the authority.
It failed to enact a section 52 agreement, a legal agreement between a planning authority and developer, that would have seen it transferred to the council once the estate was constructed.
