Exactly what happened to Cradley, albeit the local authority did NOT give planning permission but the developers appealed (which is yet another string to there bow) and won, there is nothing further that can be done you cant appeal against the appeal decision so there is usually only going to be one winner, and its mostly the one with deepest pockets.

...and "Brown Envelopes!"

And Cradley was owned by a speedway family, which was a kick in the teeth for speedway.

Yet another deliberate fire to help dodgy developers. Surely the police must realise this is the case, & find the culprits, & lock them up.

God forbid, if anybody was killed in the fire, firefighters, emergency services, I wonder who would be liable? Brandon Estates or Rugby Council?

Brandon Estates are hell bend on housing. 

They clearly get to see everything the Coventry Speedway group are planning, so what better to destroy the stadium revamp? Burn it down

 

Echos of what happened at Long Eaton.  A mysterious fire burned the empty pub next to the Station Road car park down, and then another mysterious fire burned the empty stadium pavilion down not long after (or may have been other way around)..... but yes, two mysterious fires left the way clear for the developers to build on it.  I had hoped as the decades past the truth might have surfaced on that!

A few strategic wildlife remote/sensor cameras might help the Save Coventry Speedway Group with a way forward.

Councils use them to catch fly tippers so why cant the group or even the police if it is a suspected target for arson.
