Official Nelmsy Campus Countdown

[islaydarkblue]

Before you get on your high horse and start shouting objection! objection! just remember that the existing entry / egress would be available for any 'new stadium' as well as the planned additional entry / egress directly from and onto Kingsway. The proposed new Kingsway entry / egress might also be available for the ice arena patrons significantly alleviating any existing congestion.

As far back as 2018 Transport Scotland had changed the rules for accessing slip roads from large car parks.
If the Kingsway West Retail Park had been built in 2018 no access would have permitted from their car parks directly onto the slip road for the Crematorium roundabout. The only exit from the Kingsway West Retail Park car parks would have been directly onto Clepington Road.
That would certainly have caused tail backs into the car parks.

I know, but the plan has never been to access the proposed car park from a slip road like at Kingsway West - it's a direct slip road off Kingsway.

These are interesting points. I notice you say would be available and might also be available. I am not disagreeing but they seem to be possibilities for improving the traffic arrangements for all the businesses. Have these points been made in any official documents?

I say 'would' and 'might' because I still believe these accesses will never be required because no stadium will ever be built.

The time to accept the 'planning submission imminent' comment by John Nelms as valid has passed IMO and I now consider that comment a total pi55 take.

Like you do not believe that the new stadium development will ever be built and John Nelms when asked directly what is happening about his new stadium development at Campy Nou churns out these replies to effectively ‘kick the can down the road’ for a few months to get the press off his back.
A week past Saturday there was a topic on the Friends of Dundee FC Facebook Page about the new stadium development at Campy Nou. On Facebook people quote their own name and unlike Internet forums like Dundee Mad and the Dark Blues Forum do not hide behind a Username when making their posts.
One person in reply to my post stated that he had recently been speaking to John Bennett who told him that he (Bennett) had been at a presentation by John Nelms and Nelms stated that his new stadium development at Camperdown Leisure Park is a £250 million development.
Even if it is a $250 million development this equates to around £200 million based on current exchange rates.

The latest excuse will be that Nelmsy has been distracted by the Burnley owners deal with Dundee FC or the new Dundee Football Club University grade course which was announced last week to little comment on the forums including here.
When I read the press release on the Club website I had to check my calendar because I thiught it might have been 1st April.

More importantly it is now more than one month after the end of the 2023 calendar year and there is still no sign of John Nelms submitting his Planning Permission in Principle planning application for his new stadium development at Campy Nou to Dundee City Council.

And DFC are now in the top 6. Notice you never give any credit to the playing side of things, or the Owners backing.
