Legal action delays unfinished football stand work
The East Stand at Northampton Town's Sixfields stadium has remained unfinished since 2014Work to complete a half-built stand at Northampton Town's Sixfields stadium will be delayed by legal action, the club has said.
A judicial review would involve a judge reviewing the lawfulness of a decision or action made by a public body.Last year, WNC approved a deal for £2m from County Developments Northampton Ltd , a company owned by the club's owners, to buy the land behind the stand. Northampton Town said it needed direct control of the leases on the development land to complete the stand, which it would gain for the first time through the deal.
Mr O'Brien said Cilldara was "always confident" of being granted permission for the judicial review application, as it had "a cast-iron case".The deal for the land would have allowed the completion of work on the East Stand, the club saidThe club said it was "not directly involved", but added the review process "certainly delays progress" on the East Stand.
