Meteor Way car parking

[Perov]

Will Meteor  Way be clear for parking on Thursday, or are the caravans still there?

I would hope that they have been moved on by now. If not, it will show Chelmsford Council who are responsible for the field. How lazy and incompetent they are.

Braintree and Southend Councils got shot of them within a week.

 According to local residents / members the city council have put in a planning application for Meteor way to be used for homeless accommodation housing. If the council want Essex cricket and the financial benefits it brings,  surely the club should be fighting vigorously for the area to be used for vital car parking ( no disrespect for the unfortunate persons ), and extra open recreation space for the public when not in use .

You've got no chance. The pressure to build will win out. The club need to convert the ground level car park next to the ground into a multi-story.

 No doubt the club is aware of such proposals, and together with the council need to find an alternative if permissions are given.
 Wonder how many members do not reside within the city centre, a high proportion no doubt, so Meteor way provides a vital service.
 A alternative to a multi storey suggested by Nat, would be to put the buildings incorporated into the redevelopment of the ground improvements, ( shock horror ).

 Anyone have information on Meteor Way  season ticket price / renewals for 2026 ?

An email will be coming out next week with details.  Probably available end Feb, early March.

As. I can be well on the way to Rettendon. In the time it takes to leave the Car Park and the City Centre. It is the Bus for me.

But there is always the risk of highwaymen or highwaypersons holding up your stagecoach on the Rettendon Turnpike?

The only Highway robbers are at the entrance to a Car Park.

Is there an opening ceremony, for a gate leading to Meteor Way. That has existed and should have been opened years ago. If, as I found out, with asking to use the toilets in the indoor school before the ground opened. Giving approval, would involve requiring new brown trousers, if the answer was yes.
