Nor lose the common touch: the fight for the land - 1987 - Surveyor (Public Works Weekly) 168(4942) 30 April 1987, 12- .

Since the closure of the Common Land Register in 1970, the amount of common land still left in England and Wales has gradually disappeared. The future, however, does not look so bleak after the Government responded favourably to the Common Land Forum report on safe-guarding common land. This article begins by reviewing the effectiveness of past legislation, before looking at how new legislation might effect the future of common land. Also considers the role of local authorities in establishing management schemes.
