Some think it was gifted to the people as it sounds good but it isn't true, the truth is in the deeds.

Rough deed details are the land was bought by the then Accrington now Hyndburn Council for just under £900 and it has to be for public recreation use.

It's the public bit that's up for legal discussion.
Land use can change at any time. look at the GMSF with most of the allocations for housing in greenbelt (former).

Who else is party to the land charge? Someone tells you something at a meeting, well that must be the case forever...

The deed can be changed if the relevant parties who signed it want it to. It is pretty basic stuff.
