A football club’s plan to build a new stadium on a council-owned site will be progressed further after senior councillors agreed to back a conditional disposal of land.
Maidenhead United wants to use land at Braywick Park, owned by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM), for a new 5,000-capacity stadium.
The club have played at York Road since 1871, which is thought to be the oldest senior football ground in the world to be continually used by the same club.
RBWM’s cabinet approved a plan to dispose of the site for the stadium – which must still be granted planning permission before it can be built – on the condition other improvements for the park and around it are secured.
