The very same council that, since going Tory at the last local elections, has been doing its brazen-faced best to force (current Conference table-toppers - woohoo!) Barnet FC outside its own borough borders. . .
mmmmm something tells me not to support planning applications on football grounds. I remember Stanley and Bellotti successfully persuading Albion fans that it was in the club's interest to have planning permission to build on the Goldstone.
Can we have some more detail on the merits of this application before I go blindly signing petitions. If I signed everything put in front of me, I might have signed something in the Swan!
I'm sure that a care centre is a good use of the site and will benefit the local area greatly, so I'd rather the petition said that rather than (to paraphrase) "Pass this appplication or the football club gets it".
The wording of the petition seems to suggest that saving the football club is the only good reason to support the planning application, whereas I'm sure that's not the case!
