The Autumn Newsletter last year brought residents up to date with the lack of progress in obtaining village green status for the fields beside Monks Brook. The land is partly in Southampton City and partly in Hampshire County. Hampshire County Council is now moving ahead with the part in the county. A notice has been put up inviting the landowners, and whoever else it may concern, to make their objections to registering the land as a village green on or before 12th August 2016.
