Lionel Road Liaison Group
As you will be aware there was to be a meeting of the Lionel Road Liaison Group on Monday 18th January to discuss the Brentford Community Stadium project.
The project is currently on hold whilst the project team reviews the proposals in light of current market conditions. Since we last met, market conditions have improved slightly however a detailed review suggests that the scheme remains uneconomic at this point in time.
Barratt Homes and the Football Club are continuing to examine the scheme in some detail to narrow the financial gap and to take into account stakeholders concerns. In addition we have initiated contact with the GLA to discuss the scheme’s principals and the our aspirations for delivering its significant benefits to the local community.
Given the above and the fact that there is no more detailed information at present, Barratt Homes and the Football Club do not feel it is sensible to call a meeting when there is nothing new to report. As soon as we believe we have identified some potential options for the project to proceed we will call a meeting to provide a briefing, solicit comments and discuss key issues. We anticipate this will take place within the next three months.
Please do not hesitate to contact me directly should you require any further information.
Kind regards
