>The Open Spaces Society(1), Britains leading 
>pressure-group for common land(2) has published 
>the seventh edition of its Commons Bible, Our 
>Common Land, the law and history of common land and village greens.
>
>There are 600,000 hectares (2,300 square miles) 
>of common land in England and Wales.  It is 
>special for its history, archaeology, wildlife, 
>biodiversity, landscape, and culture, its 
>vitality to upland farming in particular, and 
>for informal recreation.  Commons have their own 
>laws, some of which are complex.
>
>Tragically, solicitor Paul Clayden died shortly 
>after completing the draft of the book, and it 
>has been finalised by the Open Spaces Societys 
>staff.  It brings the law up to date since the 
>sixth edition was published in 2007.  It 
>explains the intricacies of the Commons Act 
>2006, how to register land as common, how to 
>protect it from abuse and encroachments, and who 
>has rights to do what and where.
>
>Says Kate Ashbrook, general secretary of the 
>Open Spaces Society: Anyone who is involved in 
>commons, whether as a landowner, common 
>right-holder, community group, or member of the 
>public, needs to know about the laws which 
>protect and govern common land.  Our book 
>explains these in straightforward language.
>
>We want people to appreciate how important 
>commons are, for their contribution to our 
>environment and to our health and 
>well-being.  The society champions commons to 
>ensure that they remain open, unenclosed and 
>inspirational places for all to enjoy.
>
>The book costs £25 including post and 
>packing.  Further information is on the 
>societys website <https://www.oss.org.uk/our-common-land/>here.

>Notes for Editors
>
>1          The Open Spaces Society was founded 
>in 1865 and is Britains oldest national 
>conservation body.  It campaigns to protect 
>common land, village greens, open spaces and 
>public paths, and peoples right to enjoy them.

>2          Common land is land subject to rights 
>of common, to graze animals or collect wood for 
>instance, or waste land of the manor not subject 
>to rights.  The public has the right to walk on 
>all commons, and to ride on many.  Commons are 
>protected in that works on common land require 
>the consent of the Secretary of State for 
>Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, via the 
>Planning Inspectorate, or the Welsh Ministers, 
>via Planning and Environment Decisions Wales.

And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, 
he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and 
gave to them.

eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he 
vanished out of their

"And I think, in the end, that is the best 
definition of journalism I have heard; to 
challenge authority - all authority - especially 
so when governments and politicians take us to 
war, when they have decided that they will kill and others will die. "
