Football stadium row heads for Parliament

THE clash between Lewes District Council and supporters of the Albion plans for a football stadium at Falmer has reached Parliament.

An Early Day Motion has been signed by MPs Des Turner (Kemp Town), David Lepper (Brighton Pavilion) and Celia Barlow (Hove and Portslade) which states: 'That this House regrets the decision taken by cabinet members of Lewes District Council, at a meeting from which the public was excluded, to seek to challenge by judicial review the decision of the Deputy Prime Minister which supported the siting of a new community stadium at Falmer.'
