Getting Greens Registered was first published in
1994. This second edition, by John Riddall, has been thoroughly revised and
updated to include, in particular, the important changes made by the Commons
Act 2006 and the law courts.
This edition states the law
at 6 April 2007. It applies to both England and Wales.
As the contents list shows, this book is a practical
handbook for anyone wanting to register a piece of land as a town or village
green. It gives a straightforward, step-by-step, account of the action
needed. It will be of benefit to individuals, community groups, landowners,
local councils and other local authorities. This is by far the most
detailed advice ever to be published for registration authorities and
applicants on this subject.
John Riddall MA (TCD) is a
barrister and before his retirement was a senior lecturer in law at the
University of Leeds. His books include Land Law, Jurisprudence,
The Law

practice. He is a vice-president of the Open Spaces Society.
We are grateful to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
