Village Way, South or North?

Last updated : 03 June 2003 By Bob Gear
A letter asking for this adjournement was sent to the Tribunal panel yesterday, and is likely to be heard tomorrow.

The football club, the council and the University of Brighton have failed to come to an agreement over terms for giving up the part of the proposed Site it owns.

The club's letter said: "Although a great deal of progress has been made in resolving matters, including access along Village Way, I regret to say that, despite best endeavours by all parties, it has not yet been possible to draw matters to a conclusion in the time available.

What is the way forward now for the Club if agreement can not be reached with the University?

One possible way is for the Club to ressurrect its plans to use Village Way South, which is not owned in any way by the University.

This would have more objections due to the site being fully located in the Area of Outstanding National Beauty ( A farmers field !! ), but would not require any consent from the University.
