Continuing concern over tight timetable
We understand that consultation meetings, involving local residents, about the design of the Community Stadium complex has been scheduled.
A series of public exhibitions will be held to give the community the opportunity to view the plans and provide feedback.
The events will be held on:
- Friday 28 November at Orchard Park Community Centre, Badger Paddock, York, YO31 9EH between 2.30pm and 7pm and on
- Saturday 29 November at City of York Council Offices, Station Rise, York, YO1 6GA between 10am and 4pm.
The exhibitions will be run as drop-in events and people are free to attend when convenient to them.

Clearly the project is still some way from the point where a detailed planning application can be submitted.
There are also continuing concerns about the source of the £12 million commercial investment needed to make the project financially viable
The planned opening date for the Stadium (July 2016) still looks to be optimistic.
The project is currently running 2 years behind the schedule agreed in 2010.
