	Row Breaks Out Over Wimbledon Common (from This Is Local London)
		A bizarre legal row has broken out over Wimbledon Common where home-owners fear they could eventually be charged as much as £60,000 just to go up their own driveways.
		Wimbledon and Putney Commons Conservators, who manage Wimbledon Common, have been registering the common land for the last two years, but Southside Common residents believe they could be deprived of their driveways, which they insist are being wrongly registered as part of the common.
		“In 1925 the conservators felt their map of the common, where common land was coloured green, was becoming faded and unreadable and drafted a new copy in 1929, and they coloured it green themselves and just brushed over driveways and a private road,” he said.
