Land at Rose
Terrace /Whittlesey Terrace
Land at the
corner of Rose Terrace (now fenced off) is not parish owned land. The
land formed part of a field sold by a Mr R Hawes to Oundle and Thrapston
Rural District Council when the Shrubberies were built although East
Northants Council claim they no longer own it.
This piece of grass was maintained as a verge by the
County Council and more recently under licence the Parish Council has
arranged for the grass to be cut.
The Parish Council
made a number of enquiries in 2009 regarding ownership but was unable to
establish a registered owner.
The local resident,
concerned about tree root damage to his property has now claimed the
land and removed the two trees closest to his property.
Parish Council minutes for
February 2010 and
May 2009
apply.
