Traffic jam in Littlewick Green

The traditional view of a village green is a mowed space on which cricket matches are played, and maypoles are danced around, with well-placed benches, serving as a meeting place and forming the heart of a rural community. The origin of the village green lies in customary rights. Though technically originally a trespass, or carried out with the permission of the Lord of the manor, these rights became customary and enforceable through the courts.In the 19th century, it was the practice of Inclosure Commissioners to allot parcels of land to the villagers themselves. The Commons Registration Act of 1965 identified three classes of greens. Once registered, they could never be built upon
