THE Battle of Broxhead Common is about to resume after 50 years of simmering discontent.

The issue began five decades ago when people protested about the fencing of 80 acres of the common, on its eastern side, by Sefton Myers.

The fencing is still there and is still a bone of contention for the Broxhead Commoners Association, which, after several legal battles, is trying once again open up the east side of the common.
