| John, I think this is case of principle triumphing over pragmatism. Neither the benches nor the nursery are based on permanent structures. Neither cause irreparable harm to the Common. Both encourage local people to enjoy the space. Given this, I’m not sure I actually care whether either are commercial activities. If the Spencer’s or the nursery make a profit, good luck to them. If some of this profit comes back to WPCC to reinvest in the upkeep of the Common, so much the bettter If we’re going to obsess about the 1871 act, we can simply bar anybody from using the Commons for any purpose...but would that really be a victory? |
