Layla Moran emailed me back, very surprising since I only emailed her yesterday afternoon. Her response here.
Dear James,
Thank you for contacting me about the proposal by Oxford United Football Club to build a new stadium at Stratfield Brake.
Earlier this year, I met with local councillors at Stratfield Brake to discuss the proposals and later sent a survey to local residents. There was a very high response with strong support for both sides on the debate, with a majority of local residents opposed, on balance, but strong support for the plans from Oxford United fans across the county.
Key concerns about the plans include the threat to the Green Belt, increased traffic, parking problems and the need to protect the woodland. Positives include having a permanent long term home for the club and the potential for investment in much better active travel infrastructure locally.
I have encouraged the County Council Cabinet to keep discussions going with both the club and with local parish councils to try to find a solution which is acceptable to everyone.
As this is a decision taken by the County Council, I would urge you to share your views with your local County Councillor. You can find out who they are here:
