Why this petition matters

Started by Steven Rees

Despite being commercially viable prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, Manchester's historic Belle Vue Stadium will be demolished after Manchester City Council approved plans to build 247 houses on the site. 

First opened in 1926, the Belle Vue stadium is famous for staging the first ever Greyhound racing event in the UK. 

It continues as one of the UK’s most popular Greyhound and Stock Car Racing venues, hosting over 160 events each year. 

The planned demolition provides nothing as a leisure alternative within the area, for both current and future residents. This in a city famed for its sporting achievements and history.

Our campaign objects to the plans, and wishes to ensure that the stadium remains as a landmark to be enjoyed for many years to come. 

The stadium is unique in the community, providing a home for motor sport and greyhound racing which will be almost impossible to replace.

Please sign the petition to #SaveBelleVue to help us fight the plans to demolish this iconic and viable stadium. 

Remember - when it’s gone, it’s gone for ever.
