Crump99 Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 5 hours ago, OldNutter said: While I was wandering through the planning portal looking how it was sitting within officialdom, I came across a list of important dates. One that sprang out was "The Agreed Expiry Date Sun 31 Mar 2024 ". Looking though Googledom it would seem that this date is important and signifies a seismic shift in the processes. It is apparently the date after which the first full phase of the planning cycle has come to an end with no agreement between PCC and AEPG and the process moves into the Government Planning Inspectorate. If that's the case then I think that they decided some while ago to go that route if necessary? The September AEPG position was reported as: " Sale of the land is expected to be approved by Spring 2024, again subject to planning approval." - one assumes that that was based on that March timeline? 5 weeks later that had changed to: "This includes the area of land the grandstand occupies and as the ownership of the land is predicted to change sometime in 2024, there is no ability to commit to a 2024 Speedway Season."

TTT Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I wish Vadim Tarasenko all the best. Hopefully Vadim quitting will burn a big hole in Buster's pocket once attendances drop after a few more batterings. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With AEPG making all of the noise for a good while now (and we await their next move) I suspect that we'll just push back against their waffle and vandalism and clarify a few points from the perspective of Peterborough Speedway and its consortium.

Very poor They just print what they are given. Throughout the whole process it has been pretty obvious that Butterfield & AEPG like a one way conversation where they tell you what the situation is without any critical questioning from anyone knows something about the East of England Showground, it's history and Peterborough Speedway etc. To be fair, Butterfield did take some tough questions in his January radio interview. One particularly tough question came from a 12yo, along with others apparently also from schoolchildren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNutter Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Just a few questions - where are the school and doctors surgery going, how can he justify the comment about the EoES not being the home of the Panthers when they have been there longer than he has been an adult and where does the £70K loss come from? Finally, can we vote for the first target at the indoor axe throwing in the indoor sports hall? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very poor The Peterborough telegraph is notorious for believing anything the local village idiot is chiming on about, just need to read the comments and reaction on the facebook post to see no one actually believes it thankfully. A ‘leisure village’ is the go to term for developers when wanting to build another dump of a soulless housing estate basically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about the monkey, go straight to the organ grinder on the PCC planning portal with additional comments if you've already objected, or just otherwise object if you haven't done so already. If AEPG do go to the Planning & Environmental Committe for June/July then a big push from the speedway fraternity (and others if they can be persuaded) for a couple of months can only help hopefully. If you add additional comments then cite the source of your gripe if necessary and what it is that you disagree with.

The consortium will hopefully release a statement on Friday, once it has been reviewed by their legal team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorwichTownFan Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Also seen that Peterborough greyhound racing stadium has permission to be demolished, was this ever looked at to be the new home of Peterborough speedway. Sorry if this has already been mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
