It was clear from the start that this site was always going to be anti-car..... the stated required modal shift to public transport was a dramatic one, which appears to have gone over the heads of many drivers. The issue then, being that it was...

The problem with lots of cars wanting to access the Love Lane and other areas off Grt Howard St is that it won't take much to gridlock the whole area. This happened before the last event with the strand and junction with Leeds St/Grt Howard St...

There's already a Sea shanty that mentions Bramley Moore Dock....

I have a grudging respect for EFC’s refusal to give us renders of the finished ‘branded’ product and instead have us following each new step in the process in minute detail on a daily basis. I now have this mental image of a guy called Nigel...

We've known the shortfall and potential problems since the transport plan was first published 5yrs or more ago. When I first mentioned my reservations on here, the majority simply said..... it's a short walking distance from town.

Walking has always been their fall-back. Their other argument will be to say that they supplied all the agreed provision, based on the club's plan, which in turn was based on the club's fanbase and consultation data, where the club asked the fans...

Rotheram will simply say that this is the club's transport plan, created by the club's transport experts using the club's fanbase and consultation data, for the club's planning application...... all to show that this site, with its access to the...
