CAMPAIGNERS are jubilant after winning their fight for a controversial quayside to be given Village Green status.

An inspector had already ruled in their favour last November but the final decision had been delayed because of comments by both parties about a railway line which runs along the quay.
Chairman of Free The Quay Simon Bullimore was elated and believes the saga has been worth it.
“The meeting went incredibly well and we are all absolutely delighted,” he said.
