Hanley Arena cancelled

Conservative group leader Cllr Daniel Jellyman reacting to the scrapping of the Hanley arena plans as Stoke-on-Trent City Council announces that it's amending the proposals.

Stoke-on-Trent City Council statement: "The Etruscan Square development has planning approval currently in place for a mobility hub car park alongside an initial phase of residential development. There is now a change of focus to provide more of the much-needed residential accommodation as a first phase of the site鈥檚 redevelopment, recognising the significant shortage of good quality accommodation for residents in the city centre."

"Planning approval was also received for a masterplan for the 10-acre site, the largest city centre development site of its kind in the region. This is also undergoing review and instead of the proposed arena, a multi-purpose sport, leisure and entertainment facility is being explored which will better serve the needs of the community."
