This site is not suitable for an intensive housing development for the many reasons given in the past, and would be attractive as a sports ground if the leaseholder had any intention of abiding by the terms of the lease and renting it out on a fair basis.

I also understand that Oakmoor's policy drove the reformed rugby club away from the site and closed the successful pre-school group by refusing to continue the letting of the buidings

I therefore demand that SMBC stands by its 2013 all party policy on the Rugby Ground on maintaining the sports ground only covenant and not selling the freehold be retained.
