FANS who are campaigning to save the Camrose football stadium have submitted a complaint to the Government claiming that the planning appeal hearing was “unfair, inaccurate and contradictory”.

As previously reported, former chairman of Basingstoke Town Football Club Raffi Razzak and his company Basron Developments Ltd lodged appeals against a decision by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council’s development control committee to reject plans for the site.

The proposals were to demolish the Camrose and build 85 dwellings and a 70-bedroom care home.

David Graham, who lives in Basingstoke, is just one of the dedicated football fans who has been tirelessly protesting to save the stadium. 

He and several others fans have now sought the help of Basingstoke MP Maria Miller, and have submitted a complaint to the Government.
