If the new road does not provide adequate relief, it’s a knocking bet.

If this is Ikea and the development does happen, then in retrospect you would have to have more sympathy for John Wilkinson and the gang for how things panned out. I remember on a couple of occasions Wilky saying that Ikea was essentially the golden nugget of the stadium’s retail plan with the rental yield from them alone being able to finance much of the ongoing operations. However, that’s a mute point now.
On a different note, I wonder if this is part of the Council’s exit strategy from the JV?
