Bristol City FC joy hit by Village Green mediation failure | Bristol24-7

No comments:
...In a letter seen by Bristol24-7 this morning, mediation between local community groups who want the space protected, and the club, has failed. The legal advice now being given to Bristol City Council is to approve the Village Green application.
This would permanently end the club’s plans of building a new 30,000 seat stadium near their traditional home – a bitter blow following the celebrations that took place in the chamber of the city council last night...

Just what we need to build a sustainable society - yet another bloody supermarket, a giant one smack in a place where local high streets would suffer too! It still may not happen though. Its simply not the case that this represents 'a giant step forward for a new...stadium'. Its not planning applications but is the town green process that has to come to a resolution either by negotiation/mediation or the legal process if necessary. If a town green goes ahead then this green belt site for the new stadium is ruled out - and would Bristol City want to sell Ashton Gate, at least on the currently thought of timescales, then??

6-1 victory: Fans greet the council decision with a standing ovation and cheers after councillors voted by six votes to one in favour of the plan. Sainsbury's won permission last night to go ahead and build a superstore at Ashton Gate.

The decision means a giant step forward for a new 30,000-seat stadium on a former landfill site at Ashton Vale.

Councillors on the planning committee which approved the supermarket plan last night voted 6-1 in favour, with two abstentions.
