THE battle to have Mistley Quay registered as a village green has been thrown into doubt.

Mistley Quay had the status rubber stamped by Essex County Council in the summer despite challenges from TWL Logistics and Edme.

Campaigners hoped it would pave the way for a controversial fence to be taken down after a six-year battle with quay operators TWL.

But now TWL have launched a challenge and applied for a judicial review in the High Court.
