Here are a selection of comments we've received about our campaign from Rushcliffe residents that have visited this site.
Green belt land is a precious resource - and it is non-renewable. The proposed scheme to
build houses on a flood plan contravenes planning guidance and more to the point common sense. The idea of further eroding the small islands of green
between our conurbations by building a 45000 capacity football stadium that will NEVER be full is an added nonsense.
There is no infrastructure to support this, no public transport and certainly this location is not inclusive for people
without cars and on low incomes.
The amount of land that will be covered in tarmac and concrete will add to the risk of localised flooding - and we have too many examples of that to be ignored.
We must fight this proposal and for a variety of reasons. We must have far greater democracy over decisions that affect not only our futures but those of future generations of not just humans but flora and fauna too. This is as far as I'm concerned is a sacred trust.
I don't want to see Nottm expand and concrete over the land like North of the Trent. We have one of the best places to live in the UK...We must protect ourselves from this threat and tell them where to shove their plans for a new stadium. I support Forest and see them occasionally in a stadium which I've yet to see full. Why build another and lose the atmosphere of the City Ground when the Olympics are over?
