Toady 230 Posted February 11 (edited) I would like to read the latest 106 agreement to see exactly what was agreed but as I said I cannot find it only 90 odd blank pages where it should be ! The document above @frigbo submitted doesn’t seem to show that detail maybe it’s an earlier version? Edited February 11 by Toady Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heathen52 384 Posted February 11 1 hour ago, poole keith said: I suppose the stadium is "operational "because there is greyhound racing ,so it must be "substantialy" complete to do this, why there's no speedway is certainly bewildering I suspect crafty Osborne is using the "unviable" pre text to get around the continuation of Speedway at Blunsdon, let's be honest it only takes a few brown envelopes to silence some people ahem! does the cap fit anyone we know ?.

ch958 2,395 Posted February 11 (edited) why does he care if its viable or not so long as the rent's paid. Besides it was viable for donkeys years wasn't it? If it was to re open the complaints about noise, parking, etc would pour in and that would be that Edited February 11 by ch958 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're so vague, there's no way SBC could effectively challenge whether they're met or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did wonder as I have looked and couldn’t find them as the 106 is blank now and I do seem to remember looking last year and there was more information along the lines of what the planning dept had recommended (as I copied in my post above) but I never copied it and now it appears to be missing.

frigbo 518 Posted February 13 Swindon Speedway Update We have instigated a formal process with the landowner and developer to determine whether breaches have taken place.. The importance of getting the enforcement process legally correct cannot be over stated. Breaches of planning can be a criminal issue and whilst investigations are taking place there is limited information that can be put into the public domain so as not to prejudice the case. I can only stress how complex the planning history is on this site. Some of the development appears to have been implemented under one consent and some under another – and there are several. This complexity has raised a number of legal technicalities. Update this evening from the lead of Swindon Council Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

a4poster 82 Posted February 14 Interestingly enough Torquay United are planning a protest on March 23rd against Uncle Clarke and the way he is running the club. They are appealing for supporters of other teams to also attend. I though I would post as Speedway supporters - in particular Swindon fans have heard this rhetoric before - https://www.torquayfans.com/viewtopic.php?p=279169&sid=20a07a7fbe98e9570c60e7994d2caa24#p279169 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
