Dear Resident

 
I have received many comments from people regarding the proposed Forest Stadium relocated to another site in West Bridgford.  I am against this proposal and I have made my views know for the following reasons.
 
A stadium located anywhere on the outskirts of West Bridgford would be an overwhelming development quite out of keeping with domestic housing.  The land is flood plain and would be difficult to build on.   There is insufficient infrastructure to allow large numbers of people to travel easily to a stadium and generate unwelcome traffic.  It is also too far from the railway station. Policing would be difficult and require many more police than on the current site against the Trent.  Light pollution in a currently unlit location would also be unwelcome.
 
Nottinghamshire County Council have currently taken over the running of Holme Pierrepont Watersports Centre and Country Park and I would not wish to see this well used local facility spoilt.
 
Rebuilding the current stadium on the footprint to provide more seating would be a better alternative which I would support.
 
Rushcliffe Borough Council are the planning authority and comments to the Leader of the Council who is also a local representative, would be appropriate.
 

Thank you for your email, I always like to hear local electors’ opinions.
 

Regards
Cllr Katherine Cutts
Leader
Nottinghamshire County Council
