Contact us During the construction programme we are providing regular updates through our letters to residents, local newsletters and quarterly Lionel Road Liaison Group meetings – a forum set up during the planning application process to ensure resident associations and other stakeholders are kept informed and have the opportunity to ask any questions they may have on the development. You can view the minutes from our last meeting held on 7 October 2019 on our website: www.brentfordcommunitystadium.com.
