Quote: ThePhotocopier "As I pointed out earlier, there is a plot of land behind the main pitch towards Vallis Way that appears to have only a handful of houses who would be "adversely" affected by a stand on that side of the pitch. There is a school/special school and also the residents of Hathaway Gardens and Claremont Rd to consider too not to mention all the surrounding streets that could be affected by increased traffic on match day etc.
As I have also pointed out, there is NO current planning applications in with Ealing Council....who are a Labour Council and the bloke that owns Trailfinders (and set up the charitable trust) is a Tory funder to the tune of 7 figure donations.......so if Hughes is agreeing to contribute to a new stand/development, it may well be some years off, as planning permission doesn't happen quickly in London!
I've also previously posted that previous developments such as the cricket pavilion (like for like replacement) floodlights and the liquor licence were all objected to by local residenst.....'"
Looks like Jack Hughes is not only fast, but willing to contribute to a new stand.
