Stoke Potter 242 Posted February 15, 2018 Interesting views. This is the view of Long Eaton's track on google maps, keeping zooming in above the actual track and see where you end up! How long before Swindon is like this! https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.8993043,-1.2611033,400m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JOS50 150 Posted February 19, 2018 Strongly worded objection from Barrett Homes on behalf of their customers shock surprise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted February 19, 2018 Does anyone remember the sales slogan (strapline) for the film "he Sting" was "The con is on". Just a random thought............honestly! I wonder if it's worth going to a show home there, ask to look round then complain that there's a motor sport stadium on the doorstep and see whether you get told "Don't worry, it won't be around much longer".

Argos 262 Posted February 19, 2018 Over the weekend I had some time on my hands so, I look at Estate Agents in the Swindon Area then contact them asking if they have any 4 Bedroom Houses for sale in the Blunsdon Area, They all did so I asked 3 of them if they would email me details, When I received the details I responded to them informing them that due to the proximity of the Properties to the Speedway Stadium I would not pursuing a Purchase, then this morning I contacted all the 3 Agency’s and asked if they had lost sales due to the Speedway Stadium and all 3 replied yes they had, but one informed me that if I hold fire that they had been told that there is Developments going on that suggest the Stadium will not progress Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thing is, with the close proximity of the houses you only need one noise complaint, and that could end speedway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was speaking to someone recently from Peterborough and we got round to discussing the East of England Showground and the fact that houses had been built very nearby and some residents moving in then proceeded to complain about the disturbance caused by the bikes 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There has been complaints I've seen in the Echo about Poole in the past and considering we've been going since 1948 you should of thought of that when moving in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bruno 1,793 Posted February 20, 2018 I've said before when I moved into my house opposite a school I knew I would have cars and people in the street for about 15 minutes in a morning and afternoon but it would be quiet at other times especially weekends and evenings plus it's a newish school so very unlikely anything else will be built there in my lifetime.I would never complain to the school about it because I knew what would happen. You get idiots parking illegally and I even had one park on my drive because he thought no one was in!!!!! He hasn't done it since. Lol. You have to weigh things up when you move somewhere 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
