Update on Arbour Vale development

I can advise that on 28 November, Slough Borough Council submitted a planning application for the development of a community sports facility at the old Arbour Vale Site, Stoke Road.

Amongst other things this will include an artificial pitch and covered seating for a least 250 spectators. The facilities are designed to meet the ground grading requirements of the Southern Premier League with flexibility to expand.

As everyone knows it has taken the Council and indeed the Club a long time to get to this position - of course many questions need answering - however, may I request some restraint over the coming weeks as the Club works through these with the Council. A further statement will then follow in due course.
