THE public will get their first chance to see Worcester City Football Club’s vision of the future tomorrow.

Designs for a new stadium at Nunnery Way, between junctions six, Worcester north, and seven, Worcester south, of the M5, are set to be unveiled at an exhibition at the Whitehouse Hotel in Foregate Street between 3pm and 8pm.

The stadium will form part of a £30 million scheme which will include leisure and office facilities and could create up to 600 jobs.

Representatives from the football club, including chairman Dave Boddy and project manager Alan Williams, and developer St Modwen, which owns the 8.3-hectare site, will be on hand to explain the plans and answer questions.

The exhibition will also include information on the proposed residential redevelopment of St George’s Lane by Careys New Homes and feedback forms will be available.

A planning application is due to be submitted at the end of the month and Worcester City Council has a target of seeing all major applications to completion in 13 weeks.

If permission is granted, City hope to move in for the start of the 2010/11 season.

Mr Boddy said: “The move to Nunnery Way is absolutely critical to the future of the club and our ambition to bring league football to the city for the first time.

“We hope that our fans and the Worcester public take the opportunity to come and find out more about the plans and discuss them with us.“ Julie Rossiter, who is leading the project on behalf of St Modwen, said: “Although this site has long since been identified as the right one for a new stadium by Worcester City Council, it is important that people get the chance to see the proposals before we submit a planning application.

“This is also an opportunity for people to get a first glimpse of our wider proposals for the site which are critical to the delivery of the stadium.”

St George’s Lane, City’s home for more than a century, has been sold for housing to Wembley-based property developer Careys New Homes but the £7.36m sale price is dependent on planning permission being granted.

A previous attempt to incorporate DIY superstore B&Q to help finance the stadium project at Nunnery Way was rejected by councillors in 2004.

A freephone telephone number has been set up for anyone wanting further information on the exhibition and the scheme.

The number is 0800 1804424.
