MP Urges Reinvestment of Camrose Sale Money in Basingstoke Sports

Luke Murphy wants the council to do something. He represents Basingstoke as a Member of Parliament, and the council plans to sell land from the Camrose stadium. Luke wants that money used for local sports, including helping Basingstoke Town Football Club, and to improve local sports places.

Luke wants to be sure the money helps the town. He reminds everyone that they lost the stadium and the town lacks sports places since then. Basingstoke Town needs a proper home ground. The land sale decision is coming soon.

Luke wrote to a council leader, Paul Harvey, to understand how the funds will be used. He wants the council to get the best price and a fair deal for Basingstoke residents. The Camrose situation was “disgraceful”, he said.

He wants to reinvest Camrose sale money to improve local football. He knows people want reassurance about this, and want a guarantee to help grassroots football. This includes Basingstoke Town Football Club.

The Camrose loss hurt the football club a lot. The town also lost a key community spot, used for events, sports, and gatherings. Luke wants improved local sports for the long term.

Luke wants to debate football governance, seeking better support for sports clubs. He will talk about Basingstoke Town’s situation and wants to better protect community teams. The council will decide about the sale soon, and Luke asks residents to speak up, urging them to ask for investment in local sports.
