Very poor They just print what they are given. Throughout the whole process it has been pretty obvious that Butterfield & AEPG like a one way conversation where they tell you what the situation is without any critical questioning from anyone knows something about the East of England Showground, it's history and Peterborough Speedway etc. To be fair, Butterfield did take some tough questions in his January radio interview. One particularly tough question came from a 12yo, along with others apparently also from schoolchildren Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldNutter 48 Posted Thursday at 11:20 AM Just a few questions - where are the school and doctors surgery going, how can he justify the comment about the EoES not being the home of the Panthers when they have been there longer than he has been an adult and where does the £70K loss come from? Finally, can we vote for the first target at the indoor axe throwing in the indoor sports hall? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very poor The Peterborough telegraph is notorious for believing anything the local village idiot is chiming on about, just need to read the comments and reaction on the facebook post to see no one actually believes it thankfully. A ‘leisure village’ is the go to term for developers when wanting to build another dump of a soulless housing estate basically. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It needs challenging, because too many people take it as fact, and believe that planning permission has been granted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't worry about the monkey, go straight to the organ grinder on the PCC planning portal with additional comments if you've already objected, or just otherwise object if you haven't done so already. If AEPG do go to the Planning & Environmental Committe for June/July then a big push from the speedway fraternity (and others if they can be persuaded) for a couple of months can only help hopefully. If you add additional comments then cite the source of your gripe if necessary and what it is that you disagree with.

The consortium will hopefully release a statement on Friday, once it has been reviewed by their legal team. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NorwichTownFan 0 Posted 37 minutes ago Also seen that Peterborough greyhound racing stadium has permission to be demolished, was this ever looked at to be the new home of Peterborough speedway. Sorry if this has already been mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
