RADLEY DOOMED.

The article reports that the British government refused to classify beauty spot and wildlife haven Radley Lakes as a town green. Public campaigners initiated an inquiry but failed to prove that the lake had been used as a public recreation space for a considerable period of time, despite numerous testimonials from witnesses. The decision is likely to make the lake vulnerable to toxic wastes from nPower's Didcot coal power station. nPower argued that because the lakes had once been drained they could not be registered as an unchanged public space.
