Petition All we want is a football ground in Slough

A proposed development in the heart of Slough to include housing, community sports facilities and a home for Slough Town Football Club is in danger of collapse following interference from Central Government.

The Attorney General and the Education Secretary are looking to site a new school on the proposed development site despite a perfectly acceptable alternative already having been earmarked in Stoke Poges. This is politically motivated and aims to appease NIMBYs to the detriment of the people of Slough.

Following the enormous success of the Olympics we should be boosting communities with new sports facilities.

We want the government to stop their interference and allow the Local Council, elected by local people to proceed with the development that the local people want rather than forcing a school that is not wanted in another borough onto the people of Slough.
