Black & Gold - Sports Tent
I am pleased to announce that the sports tent has been granted a further 6 years on its planning permission. This is an outcome that we had expected and that we welcome, despite more pessimistic views from local and campus media.
Despite this result, the situation has highlighted a need for the university to not only look towards new construction on Hes East but also the continual development of Hes West. The significance of a 6 year extension is a clear sign that the university want to get the tent on the 4 year construction plan and then have time to get it built. We, not only as a athletic union, but as a whole community, must hold them to account, and ensure that the near future holds a new sports hall instead of our tent.
