General New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Land Deal

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

One of the more intelligent posts about the Green/FoSB/KDW/LibDem coalition poll.

The following has been posted on Facebook and makes interesting reading.

It seems that the Vote Yes leaflet has ruffled some feathers. We have received correspondence this morning from a member of the parish council stating:
“It is grossly misleading on several counts. I think that you need to stop delivery immediately and issue a public apology.”
Needless to say, we will neither be apologising (publicly or otherwise) nor will we stop delivering the leaflet to our community. We stand United with OXVOX and back every single word printed on the leaflet.
Their claim centres around what they see as an inference that the Parish Council support a Yes vote. We see nothing of the sort and have certainly not inferred anything to that end. The very wording of the vote says “should Kidlington Parish Council support the building of a stadium for Oxford United FC in Kidlington?”. Therefore by voting yes, you are indeed being asked to back KPC and OUFC to benefit the community of Kidlington as stated on the leaflet. We have not inferred that the council would like a Yes vote and in fact, we feel that the opposite is true
They have also taken offence to the suggestion that the poll was called on behalf of a small group from North Oxford. It is a matter of public record that the Kidlington resident who called the vote, Mr Trevor Campbell, did so whilst reading a statement on behalf of Friends of Stratfield Brake, the leader of which is from North Oxford. We also have documentary evidence that the application from FoSB to the parish council for grant funding was done so solely by Suzanne McIvor who their chairperson and is a resident of North Oxford and not Kidlington.
We feel that this is an attempt by certain elements within the council who are opposed to the stadium to silence us and suppress our positive message. We have had several people approach us to say that certain councillors have been out canvassing their homes and have been actively telling them to Vote No! We would be more than happy to speak to the chair of the council about this type conduct but he has yet to engage with either ourselves or OXVOX despite numerous invitations to do so.
We will continue to work tirelessly on behalf of our community to ensure that we benefit from the stadium and tell other how we feel that it will be positively transformative for our village.
This is why it is so important to make sure that you VOTE YES on May 10th

Did I read somewhere that Middleton is to be a moderator at the vote? Is he the one ticking off people addresses? Hmmmm

 

[Aeromouse]

Have been wondering whether the club could invite the members of FOSB to the game on Sunday?

They would never venture down to "ghastly" Blackbird Leys to watch football with people they probably refer to in their houses, to middle-class giggles, as "the great unwashed"

Given the Green Party's predetermined anti-stadium position it's highly inappropriate anyone from the Green Party/FoSB/KDW should be involved in the administration of the poll. Just as no-one from OxVox/OUFC should be. It should be entirely independent.

The below is an extremely worrying development but we already knew KPC's anti-stadium stance and ties with the opposition groups.

We MUST get out and vote yes on May 10th and we MUST get hold of everyone we know in Kidlington and ask them to vote yes.

All of the officials at the poll will be appointed by the Returning Officer for CDC - in all likelihood they will be clerks employed by CDC.

Despite being meaningless, the poll is covered by the full weight of electoral law. No campaign material is allowed at the polling station and it's immediate surroundings and any interference with the process of an election could be deemed electoral fraud and a criminal investigation would take place if reported.

The councillor who complained is I believe far from neutral as they chaired KDW and has actively canvassed to stop the building of the stadium at Stratfield Brake. Ps it’s not Middleton.

 

[Scotchegg]

Cautiously neutral!!

Linda Ward, judging from her comments on Nextdoor. They have some bloody nerve, posting character assassinations, smear campaigns, and outright lies for the last 15 months or so, and then complain when fans fight back.

This is not going to end well for some of these people, and that's not a threat Victoria, Linda, Ian or whoever else is reading this, but an observation of how communities react to people who betray them.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

KPC Cllr Ward and Green Party candidate is the Chair of Kidlington Development Watch.

Kidlington Development Watch are listed as the biggest single donor to FoSB on their GoFundMe page.

As Chair of Kidlington Development Watch its safe to assume this donation would've happened with her blessing/sign-off/sanction.

I find it hard to believe she doesn't have a predetermined anti-stadium views.


By the way, the Web page from the Cherwell Development Watch Alliance which lists Cllr Ward as the Chair of Kidlington Development Watch has been deleted. Thankfully, I screenshotted first in case someone tried trying to hide the Green Party's predetermination.

 

[SupporttheTriangle]

Linda Ward neutral or not. Read the following from the KDW web site.

Kidlington Development Watch claims to be non political and was given a grant by the KDC. KPC is predominantly LibDem and Green. The following would strongly suggest that KDW is in no way non political.

Copied from their web site. Now Linda Ward what have you to say about your neutrality now? Cherwell Local Elections 4th May Kidlington Development Watch is not a political organisation. We don't want to tell our supporters how to vote. However, years of fighting to protect our Green Belt show we MUST send a strong message via the ballot box. The Cherwell District Council elections on 4th of May and the Kidlington Parish Poll on 10th May are both potentially important for the future of the Green Belt. The aim of this blog is to provide information on how best to vote if you think it is important to protect the Green Belt around Kidlington. Vote for a better Local Plan - one that truly listens to local opinion ! Cherwell District Council, led by Barry Wood’s Conservatives, was responsible for approving the 4,400 houses for Oxford City to be built in the Green Belt around Kidlington. It is now the ONLY Oxfordshire District Council still supporting Oxford City Council’s excessive growth agenda. Its latest draft local plan, circulated to Councillors at the end of last year proposed: 100s more houses on land behind the Moors in Kidlington 100s more houses south of Woodstock Breaking Cherwell’s promise to protect our remaining Green Belt No designated Local Green Spaces for Kidlington Perhaps fearing that voters will not accept yet more development in the Green Belt, Cherwell made a last minute decision to put these unpopular proposals on hold until after the elections. The Conservatives could lose control of Cherwell District Council on May 4th. If you want Cherwell to join all the other District Councils in opposing Oxford City's growth and excessive housing targets then you should consider voting: Green Party in Kidlington East Liberal Democrat in Kidlington West VOTE TO SAVE THE FIELDS BEHIND THE MOORS The Liberal Democrat and Green Party candidates have both pledged to review the Local Plan and massive housing targets put forward by the current Council. They will push for more genuinely affordable homes for local people.

remember Kidlington Parish Council is predominantly run by the alliance of the LibDems and Greens. The smell from the sewage works near the Kassam pails in to the ether when you read this.

Have any of the names of those who called for the poll been made known? I know it was asked by someone at the meeting about the names but it would be interesting to know if any of the names were from north Oxford.

Thought they had to be residents in the Kidlington Parish Council area.

We need an independent adjudicator to be present to report on any wrong doing if any at all.

It would appear that even more lies spouted by FofSB. This is about the detrimental effect that a stadium would have on property prices.

My Sister incidentally was in Chancellors Kidlington this morning, she asked about Ghada Asman ( who posted on next door about property prices being affected, and then claimed that she was told , by Chancellors, that the triangle stadium wasn't happening) according to my sisters, Ghada Asman was seriously concerned by claims on the foSB leaflet put through her door. She was mistaken it seems by what she was told by Chancellors, they did not tell her what she claimed. They actually are quietly hopeful the plans will go ahead, as property prices will increase as they have in the vicinity of other new football stadiums. Fella my sister spoke to in Chancellors is an ex Stevange youth player, and now a hellenic league level and rising referee as well as an estate agent surprise surprise the entirety of Ghada Asman's thread on next-door Kidlington has been removed ! wonder how many 'concerned' posters on there have been manipulated by a certain group of friends into posting things up , and then when challenged realise they have been set up /
The facts are that property prices fall due to a number of factors, over supply, high interest rates, quality of schools and lack of social amenities in the area. The stadium would have a positive effect on property prices.

Trevor Campbell was the proposer. Guess who his wife is??? Victoria.

 

[Scrongo]

Look where she is stood ,looks like the rugby pitch at stratfield brake .. yes good bit of neutrality...

They did

 

[bazzer9461]

Yes I know but it was asked and the chair just said yes although two people withdrew their support because they felt they had been strong armed. I was just wondering whether any North Oxford residents had got their name n the poll?
