I know nothing about Hey's Lane so don't listen to me!

I just know it was mentioned by the others at the meeting and partially ruled out. I know County are having problems with District. The higher the profile the proposition the more fraught negotiations have been. Town Hall rat run, Bus Station, Lancs Local spring to mind.

I have played on He's Lane, that's all my knowledge is of the site. My only observation was had we considered all site's? Stanley said they would like some quick movement on this so problematic sites were ruled out because of 1. Lack of time, 2 Variable ownership 3. Other site problems 4. Stanley expressed a desire to see progress by the Council.

In the end the meeting didn't get far. The indication was Hey's Lane was unsuitable by the Council because of LCC ownership and I think the Club want somewhere dedicated and a decision soon.

That left everyone to go to Arden Hall as it was seen as the best site 'all round' in that the Council own it, there are no conditions to that ownership. Remade are active. And so forth.... And if that site was suitable/ideal, then there was an opportunity for progress.

I would say if you are involved in Hey's Lane. Get it on your local agenda somewhere. Get some idea of the possibilities with your County Councillor and bring them forward. I am sure the Club would appreciate that kind of help.
