Tottenham Hotspur has received approval to build a new training facility for their women's team at Whitewebbs Park, which will feature 11 pitches and a clubhouse. This project is touted by player Bethany England as a significant opportunity to enhance competitiveness in women's football. However, local campaigners, including residents and environmental groups, argue that the development will infringe on public green space, highlighting the park's importance as a community resource. Concerns include loss of open land and ancient woodlands, with nearly 300 objections submitted to local authorities over the project.
Spurs striker Bethany England emphasized that this facility will provide a once-in-a-generation chance for the club to compete at the highest level in women's football.
Sean Wilkinson highlighted the essential public space loss, stating, “We are losing access to about half the open land in the park. This is public land.”
