WDC votes against sports village scheme
Wycombe District Council's (WDC) cabinet has voted not to proceed with the development of a proposed new community stadium and sports village at Wycombe Air Park.
The local authority has confirmed work on the project would now be halted, but is to explore alternative options for future sporting provision in the Wycombe area. A 17,500-seat stadium and community sports village had been planned by Wycombe Sports Developments Limited (WSDL), which has expressed disappointment at the decision.
A WSDL spokesperson said: "The council's decision tonight represents the potential loss of a golden opportunity to build towards a better future for Wycombe." However, WDC leader Alex Collingwood said: "The risks to the council for a development at the Air Park were threefold - funding ability, planning consent and long term viability."
