Campaigners to fight on
Susannah Wright8/ 5/2008
RESIDENTS fighting to save playing fields from developers have been dealt a hammer blow.
This week an independent inspector refused to back a bid to grant Ryebank Playing Fields village green status, which would protect it from the hands of developers.
The report by QC Vivian Chapman said that residents failed to establish that the Manchester Metropolitan University-owned land had been used by the public for a long enough period of time. This is a key requirement for village green status.

The area in question is RIGHT BESIDE the huge open green area at the north of Longford Park, and so most of their arguements are fairly unjustified.
It might be nicer to have Ryebank Road joined up again like it used to be, so that you didn't have to go all the way round Oswald Road.
