Presented by: Shay Bottomley - Petition submitted Tuesday 21 November 2023
Lead Officers: Andrew Durrant - Executive Director of Place, Elaine Browne - Monitoring Officer & Oran Norris-Browne, Principal Democratic Services Officer
Petition: We the undersigned petition the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead to refer back to Cabinet, the decision of the 27th of July not to dispose the open space land at Braywick Park to Maidenhead United Football Club for the delivery of a new community stadium, AstroTurf pitches and athletics facility. When making this decision, the Cabinet only considered the adverse consequences of the loss of open space and did not fulfil its obligation to also consider the advantages of leasing the land to the football club, meaning it did not take a balanced view in its decision making.
Update: This petition was debated at Cabinet on Wednesday 13 December 2023, in which the Lead Petitioner was invited to attend, where he addressed Cabinet for 5 minutes. Cabinet agreed to reaffirm their original decision to not dispose of the open space land at Braywick Park, Maidenhead.
