Coop minutes (from website).
Ive cut some things to keep it brief https://nuneatontownsupporterscoop.wordpress.com/minutes/

30-aug
Feed back from owner of ground. The Rugby Club are not happy with his proposals for the present ground, which is to build them a new ground on part of the land at Liberty Way, which the football club would then share with them. He would then apply for planning permission for the rest of the site. This leaves the football club in limbo at present with less then 3 years on the current lease.



29-Nov
One of their softer options, as they put it, they could perhaps offer to mediate as an honest broker in the dispute.
It appears that they had a meeting with representatives of the football club last year, on the future plans the club had. They (the council) stated that they were not impressed with that presentation. No business plan, cash follows, accounts etc were included in that presentation, and they would not go any further with it.

If the Co-operative, or anyone else, were ever to try and buy the site, it would need a proper business plan before the Council could seriously consider helping in anyway.

At this point we corrected any ideas that they might have had that we were from the football club,. We were speaking as the Supporters’ Co-operative, and explained our involvement with Nuneaton Town Football Club, through our members and supporters. It was pointed out to them, several cases, where local councils, up and down the country had helped in different ways at their local clubs.

The Council went on to say that it would be very difficult for any housing, or industrial unit developments on the land, as it was not in any of the Borough’s current or future development plans,. They knew of the ACV that the Co-op have on the ground, and is now in with the borough planning department for renewal.

We thought this statement was encouraging regarding any possible development of the site.


After approaching Marcus Jones MP, we have spoken with his representative Jonathan Collett, and he said that Marcus Jones had not received any approach from the football club for assistance with the dispute with the ground owners. He suggested that perhaps an open meeting might be called, inviting the MP and the Council to it?

A Co-op delegation had a meeting with the manager of Nuneaton Crematorium regarding the possibility of having to move the Memorial Garden from Liberty Way.
t seems it would be possible for it to be sited at the Crematorium, although expensive, and requiring a lot of agreements and paperwork. This will be kept in mind depending on developments at Liberty Way.
