Many years ago I had the pleasure of speaking with the then Borough Solicitor and we talked about Quibell Park. I asked could the council acquire it and sell in the future if they wanted. He said “Not a chance” seems Lord Quibell had some of the most incredibly difficult to amend Covenants in the life term loan to the town. The advice they got from the best in the land – give it up they had never seen anything like it.
