Welcome to the Arena33 Indoor Paintball petition against Stockton Councils decision to deny change of use planning permission for our proposed location - a disused warehouse on the junction of Portrack Lane and The Black Path in Stockton.
The main reason stated as to why the planning permission was denied is that the warehouse is too far away from Stockton town centre. The warehouse in question is located just under half a mile from Stockton town centre. The only suitable places that have been identified so far cost well over budget and would mean that Arena33 would not be able to start up.
The aim of this petition is to show Stockton Council that you, the people that they represent, and potential customers have no objections to Arena33 being located at our proposed location; a disused warehouse that has been stood empty for years, and is broken into on a regular basis by metal thieves. And unbelievably only half a mile from where they would like us to locate!
The council claims this building is too far from the town center despite it being mere minutes away. Send an email to your local representative today and demand they explain why they prefer an empty and dangerous warehouse over a new local business.
February 18, 2013
The momentum behind this building has reached a point where the council can no longer ignore our presence. Fire off an email to your local representative today and demand they visit the site to see why this location makes perfect sense.

My kids would love this. Why keep it empty when it could be a fun place to go? Half a mile is nothing!
