2008 Task Group Draft Report

The Buckingham Fields Scrutiny Task Group was set up in December 2006 following the decision to grant village green status to public land at Buckingham Fields, (now Hampton Common). The investigation was in response to local people who believed that there was a need for explanations about the decision to enclose public land within a 3.5m fence, and an opportunity for lessons to be learned about the decision-making process in order to improve it for the future.
