Dear Editor,
Our family has lived near Wembley Stadium since the late 1950s and it's now unbearable compared to how it used to be!!!
Wembley residents are now treated like second class citizens!!!
We
can't get home from work on event days because trains are packed and
buses are diverted or don't run at all or are stuck in endless traffic
jams - how do the elderly, the disabled or those visiting relatives in
local hospitals cope???
We can't have visitors on event days
because the trains are packed, buses are diverted or don't run at all or
are stuck in endless traffic jams and local pubs and restaurants are
full or charging more for limited option event day menus. Some of the
pubs near the stadium now even charge you £20 entry fee on event days.
We can't even sit in our gardens in the summer because we have helicopters circling overhead for HOURS on event days!!!
Also
we volunteer with lots of local groups and you can't plan vital fund
raising events, many of which need major advance organisation and
publicity, because of late notice of event days and the parking
restrictions and bus diversions.
The current cap on the number of major Wembley Stadium events should not be increased!!!
We
used to be proud to live near 'Wembley Stadium' but this new Wembley
Stadium is just a money grabbing monster sucking the life out of our
community here in Wembley.
