UK Commons Act 1952

The UK Commons Act 1952 is a law that protects common land—areas traditionally used by local communities, such as grazing or gathering. It restricts the exclusive rights of landowners and aims to preserve these spaces for public use and natural conservation. The Act encourages community participation in managing common land, ensuring it remains accessible and historically significant for future generations. Essentially, it regulates the use, preservation, and interference with commons to balance private rights with public interest.
