Council denies secrecy over rumoured stadium plans
New Piece
Council bosses have denied any "secrets or secrecy" over the prospect of Newcastle United building a new stadium on Grade II listed green space next to its current home.
Rumours have swirled for months over the possibility of the club leaving St James' Park for a new stadium, with Leazes Park next door reportedly the preferred location.
A Freedom of Information (FOI) request seen by the Local Democracy Reporting Service suggested Newcastle City Council's records contained more than 30,000 emails on the subject.
The Labour-led council said it would not comment on rumour but was "absolutely committed to a policy of transparency". The football club declined to comment.
