Griffin Park one of safest grounds in country |
Residents around Griffin Park have vowed to do what they can to find agreement on Brentford FC's plans to make changes to the hundred year old ground.
| Griffin Park improvements put on hold |
The plans are in jeopardy following councillors' decision not to grant planning permission for the changes which would have seen the construction of a roof over the Ealing Road end and a building to serve as lounges at classrooms at the back of New Road.
A lack of consultation from the club was one of the reasons that councillors delayed making a decision. However residents of New Road are keen to talk to the club to see if the plans can become a reality - and allow Brentford to claim £1.7million from the Football Foundation.
"We've always been willing to talk" one resident told BrentfordTW8.com. "But the club have only ever showed us finished plans - we've never had any input. We're convinced that we can sort this out if the club are willing to enter into meaningful dialogue."
