Land for the road was found to have been sold by the Conservators to Wandsworth Borough Council for £350,000, £1.5m less than a valuation by a surveyor in 2012 of £1.9m. This led to a Charity Commission Statutory Inquiry of the Conservators from 2016, the results of which were reported in 2020, which concluded that the sale of land or 'easement' may have been transferred at an undervalue. The Putney MP Fleur Anderson called the inquiry 'a whitewash', the WPCC Chief Executive retired from their position early, in December 2020.
