| Proposed Stadium Development at Holme Pierrepont - ACTION before 25th August 2009, |
|
Are you aware of the proposal within the Nottingham 2018 World Cup bid to build a 50,000 seater stadium at Holme Pierrepont? The site currently identified is on land to the East of Regatta Way occupied by Greenacres Caravan Park and the new Sports Ground.
ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO MAKE A COMMENT - before it's built at least... At FIELDS we recognise the benefits of being a World Cup host city and whilst we do not oppose the bid in principal, we think the site identified for the proposed stadium could not be more inappropriate for the following reasons:
Not withstanding the re-development of the current City Ground we believe that there are more appropriate sites for the proposed stadium within the city, which should be fully considered before even contemplating development of the Green Belt. We would urge you to outline your objections to the proposed stadium location for the reasons outlined above and to do this by 25th August 2009, which is when the preliminary bid has to be submitted by Nottingham. Objections can be sent in writing to the following: Councillor Neil Clarke - Leader Councillor Kay Cutts Lord Triesman Alternatively, you may want to use the sample letter you can download on the right hand side. All you need to do is sign it, optionally add your full name and address, fold and tape it, stick on a stamp and post it. DownloadsCONTACT F.I.E.L.D.S. at ladybayfields@hotmail.com  |

(By the way, I quite like football. Do we need a Fans Against the Ridiculous Stadium Extension? Perhaps with a better acronym...)
No one could get to it due to a lack of roads
The roads we have would be destroyed by the traffic
Lady Bay would be totally wiped out as a nice place to live - I don't like football and would move out, so would many other people.
It would flood.
-------------
Environmentally - Without a tram line it would encourage car use - a very bad thing. Further building on farm land will lower our chance of self-sufficient food production even more.
Light and sound pollution.
Water run-off lowered - increasing chance of flooding the rest of the area.
