Don't they have to provide an alternative site? Or is that going to be another battle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No alternative site is provided because Chapman in cahoots with Butterfield said the Peterborough supporters would travel to KL and I am proud to say I will never enter his stadium again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that going to be another battle? That was the battle. The Peterborough Local Plan stipulated that if AEPG didn't include Peterborough Speedway within their plan for that parcel of land where the stadium sits then they should provide a like for like replacement on the remaining Showground land or at an off-site location. The first proviso was then of course knackered because PCC had already approved planning for the rest of the EoES. AEPG never had any intention of fulfilling any of their responsibilities regarding an on or off-site location for Peterborough Speedway and Peterborough City Council let them get away with it. Mick Bratley laid it out quite clearly at the appeal meeting that the club was only asking for what the Council's own policy stated. PCC then ignored their own local plan and those sporting safeguards that they themselves had incorporated when they moved from their sensible EoES policy LP31 of 2015. They threw Peterborough Speedway under a bus & will no doubt be clearing up the mess over the next decade along with most of their disastrous decisions. This has nothing to do with the Labour Government, it has everything to do with weak, incompetent, self interested, easily influenced councillors who only see £ signs & not people and community. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackney Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago So is there a plan B ? Makes me laugh that you can still join the supporters club or the forever fund and raise money to sponsor young Betty who's bike packed up most weeks when he came out for a practice 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the people and community they should be serving, vote them off, too late though, sickening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though Wolves were invariably beaten there before we even started, it produced some great racing. The epic runoff between Ryan Sullivan and Mikael Karlsson in 96 was an all time classic - probably the best race I've seen live 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) What happened to Policy LP36 of the Peterborough Local Plan,The development plans include a golf driving range, gym and small all weather football pitch. These facilities (if they ever get built) are in no way close in nature or size of the showground. Why is there no word from the BSPA?

Colinspeedway Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Policy LP30: Culture, Leisure, Tourism and Community Facilities. This policy reads: Existing Culture, Leisure, Tourism and Community Facilities The loss, via redevelopment, of an existing culture, leisure, tourism or community facility will only be permitted if it is demonstrated that: The facility is demonstrably no longer fit for purpose and the site is not viable to be redeveloped for a new community facility; or l. The service provided by the facility is met by alternative provision that exists within reasonable proximity: what is deemed as reasonable proximity will depend on the nature of the facility and its associated catchment area; or m. The proposal includes the provision of a new facility of a similar nature and of a similar or greater size in a suitable on or off-site location.
