Council agree to lease land to Albion for car park use

Brighton and Hove City Council has agreed to lease a small piece of land to Brighton and Hove Albion for use as a car park on match days at their new Amex Community Stadium in Falmer.

The land, which used to be part of Park Wall Farm, will provide 119 spaces and will be used by players and staff and will also provide parking for the disabled.

The council’s cabinet agreed yesterday to let the 1.4 acre site on a 25 year lease, which they insisted represented the best value for residents.

Councillor Jason Kitcat, cabinet member for finance and central services, said: “Letting the land to Brighton & Hove Albion will support the football club in its new home at the community stadium and provide the council with income to help us offset government cuts to our budget.

“We support the club in encouraging stadium visitors to use a variety of sustainable transport options. This small car park will contribute to that by providing space for disabled fans and disabled visitors on non-match days.”
