The district council will not accept our registration for a local land charge. What should we do?

In March 2004 Defra issued a letter to all local authorities advising them of the effect of dedication as a local land charge. This letter is available at http://www.defra.gov.uk/wildlife/countryside/cl/accessopen/guidance-localauthletter.pdf  This letter can be shown to any district council that is unsure of the legal status of the dedication land charge form.
