Peterborough reveals London Road Plans
Peterborough City Council have revealed plans for the first phase of re-development at London Road. The stadium was bought by the council from the club's previous landlords in an £8m deal back in January. It plans to transform the ground into a “community stadium”, which will incorporate educational and health facilities and commercial space and it is seen as a key site in the council’s plans to regenerate the South Bank.
Plans have been unveiled for a new stand at the Moys End of the ground to be constructed by mid-2013. The re-development of the Moys End represents the first stage in the process of turning London Road into an all-seater stadium. The designs have been viewed positively by Adi Mowles, chairman of the Peterborough Independent Supporters’ Association (PISA), who thinks a modern stadium is vital for the club if it is to have any Championship or Premier League aspirations.
The project is set to be funded through a combination of a central government grant and private finance and will house a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) further education facility. Providing extra skills training for workers in the city, and academic training for 16 to 19-year-olds, the Government has pledged £7million funding, provided the work is completed by summer 2013
Plans are set to be submitted before Christmas with demolition work on the current stand beginning in the summer of 2011.
August 2012 has been pencilled in as the completion date for the project, although the timescale is currently provisional.
A full planning application is expected to be submitted to the council before Christmas.
While much of the funding is already in place for the Moy’s End stand scheme, the council is looking to other public and private sector funding sources to generate the cash needed to start work on other stands.
