Obviously for the dog track there is more joint up work due the hare rail, but it could be a quick change over operation if the spirit is there to do it. Speedway start gate would also need to be pulled back toward the 4th bend but that's it. Where are the pits going to be, as I believe that there are houses now where the old pits used to be. The pits are going to be between the start gate and bend 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al 710 Posted December 14, 2018 But who is actually supposed to be paying/arranging for the track work to be done? Is it Swindon speedway, or the landlords? If it's the latter, well,....... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The latter dont like taking anything out of their pension pots, and they only have Swindon left to top there pension up with, luckily for pirates fans Poole is Council owned, thats probably why wotsis name brought Torquay United, no more Greyhound Stadia available to buy and assett strip so they have moved on to aquire miss managed football clubs..

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted December 15, 2018 Did any of those going along to the shop at the stadium see any markers for the new track on bends 1 & 2 or any other track changes ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

packerman 160 Posted January 1, 2019 First time I've been to Blunsdon in a number of years as I was passing thought I'd take a look before heading home. Surprised by how close the housing is by the 3rd and 4th bends. Looking forward to some berk in Robinscroft Rd to complain about the noise coming from over the road. Nothing done to the track from my vantage point looking over it from the traffic lights outside the stadium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted January 4, 2019 Report from the Swindon Council planning meeting 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woofers 467 Posted January 5, 2019 So both Toby Elliott and Vera Tomlinson either supported or approved whatever application was being made, with "conditions". They are hoping the leopard will change its spots. Perhaps it would be more effective to do a "Trump"..........refuse the application totally until the previous commitments have been met. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would have made more sense to have either told the developers no houses could be built until the stadium was completed or limited the building to say 100 houses at which point the stadium should have been completed before any more were allowed to be started, so the planners are their own worst enemy, and the developers run rings round them.

MattK 3,447 Posted January 5, 2019 As far as I can see, the details of the planning permission have not yet been published. Once this is done we'll be able to see the exact wording of the "conditions". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,408 Posted January 7, 2019 Can there be a block put on the selling of the houses that have been built but not sold so that the developers do not get any monies until all issues have been met. Otherwise, get a JCB to part demolish these houses, on the quiet though by accident, as we know what Brandon will do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
