WHAT HAPPENED?
Campaigners are up in arms over Spurs' plans to turn Whitewebbs Park in Enfield into their women's football facility, according to The Metro. Protestors say 'ancient trees', rare species of wildlife, and vegetation are situated at this popular green space but Tottenham wants to go ahead with their project to build 11 new pitches and a clubhouse there.
AFPTHE BIGGER PICTURE
The report adds that Tottenham will pay Enfield Council £2 million for a 25-year lease of 53 hectares of the park, but campaigners point out that Spurs have 17 pitches at their Hotspur Way training centre, which is just over the road, and that should suffice. The north London team, however, argues that the development would "improve local access to nature and habitats, and provide new facilities for visitors, community groups, and sports clubs".
DID YOU KNOW?
According to the report, those opposed to this development say this Spurs initiative will lead to the loss of 16 hectares of green space, and 207 adult trees will have to be cut down - which will have a big impact on local wildlife.
AFPWHAT NEXT?
Going forward, campaigners are reportedly hoping to fund a successful legal battle to have the plans withdrawn. However, after Enfield Council approved the construction of the site in February, along with City Hall giving the scheme the green light in July, they may have their work cut out.
