Tottenham Hotspur FC have applied to construct a new 56,000 seater ground in a bid to elevate themselves into the top group of clubs in the country.

The chairman of Tottenham, Daniel Levy, said that they were aiming to create the most fan-friendly ground in the whole of Europe and that the design reflected this, with a better view of the pitch than in any other ground of similar size.

The project director added that the design was geared towards providing the best stadium atmosphere possible with reduced space set aside for corporate spectators. The bowl design should reflect sound and it should be a fantastic arena in which to watch football.

The £85million project to redevelop Rhyl seafront is currently in danger as a buyer has yet to be identified.

The land is currently owned by Modus, which has gone into administration, but the company had planned to build flats, a supermarket, a hotel, restaurants and even 10 wind turbines on the site.

With no buyer coming forward, the entire development is now in doubt. The mayor of Rhyl believes that the project is integral to Rhyl’s future prospects and is keen that someone sees it through, but how this is going to happen is at present uncertain. The work was due to start next month, but there is little chance of that happening.

Another £11million has been secured for the regeneration project currently being undertaken in Gloucester city centre.

Around £7million is earmarked for streets and public areas between the existing commercial centre and a new shopping centre. The remainder of the money, about £4.2million, is set aside for the Docks project.

The South West Regional Development Agency will be responsible for the Docks area, while Gloucestershire County Council will make use of Regional Development Agency funding to carry out work around the Kimbrose Triangle and Southgate Street area. Work for the former will begin next month, while work on the latter will begin next year.

The area around Manchester Town Hall is set to be regenerated as part of a £155million project.

Buildings earmarked for attention include Central Library and the Town Hall itself. St Peter’s Square will also be included in work that is estimated to take five years to complete.

Theatre Royal may also get added to the project as the council have deemed it their choice to be the home of the Library Theatre Company. They believe that rehousing the theatre company would allow it to expand, which would enable it to offer a wider range of performances with the knock-on effect that a grade II listed building would be restored into the bargain.
