Council advertises for stadium project officer
5:05pm Monday 15th March 2010
WYCOMBE District Council has signalled its intention on mooted proposals for a new stadium by advertising for a stadium planning project officer.
The successful applicant would be awarded a fixed term contract until July 2012 and earn between £38,655 and £44, 378 per year, with a “generous benefits package” and “final salary pension scheme.”
The covering documents state the project officer would “contribute at senior professional level to the development of sound planning policy for the delivery of a new stadium” and “lead policy drafting and day-to-day running of the stadium project”.
Other responsibilities include “the coordination of consultants and evidence gathering and adherence to both the defined timetable and to local and statutory procedures.”
The job advert is posted on the council's website (click link below).
Council cabinet members last month approved a major £500,000 consultation that could see its planning policy changed to permit a new stadium.
Wycombe Air Park is thought to be a preferred choice for the stadium, which would re-house Wycombe Wanderers and London Wasps.
The council will put cash into building the stadium and have a stake in its ownership.

All of a sudden they can afford to give someone 38-44k + gen benefits.
If they can afford that, then perhaps they can lend BCC some money to FIX THE BLOODY ROADS

Watch out for the demise of Wycombe Wanderers to non-league football and then they won't be allowed to use the stadium because the numbers of supports won't warrant it!

London Wasps Stadium, here we come.

BFP please check to see if the person who gets the job of project officer has any connection with Steve Hayes or any local councillors.

Any sign of Hayes giving councillors more "sweeteners"? (Previous "presents" already reported, true and common kowledge. There may be others that we don't know about.)

They were asking questions of WW supporters
Seems Lid Dems are questioning the the stadium move and why WDC residents should be paying for it !!!
Well done -- the Lib Dems --you have my vote :-)

Surely this can't be local government.

Before then opposition parties need to be given all the support they can get in order to take on the might of the Bucks Tories and their military like election machine and show them the Wycombe residents default Tory setting is not to be taken for granted.

Guy, as normal, sitting on the fence...
the wasps are a good thing for the town but wanderers have a long history.
In other words, he will make his mind up once he is sure what is more popular and will get more votes.
Numpty.

They would be better advertising for someone to sell Wycombe as a business location and get some of the empty shops that blight the town centre filled....
