QPR have responded to claims their plans for a sporting and leisure hub at Old Oak have been dealt a serious blow by Cargiant, reports West London Sport. The club's owners want to transform the land between Scrubs Lane and Willesden Junction into an area to be known as New Queens Park which would include a 40,000-capacity arena where Rangers would play.
The car supermarket company owns 45 acres of the proposed site and have been assessing possible sites to relocate their current operation to but also say they are working on their own plans to develop Old Oak and that their proposals do not include a stadium for QPR.
A QPR spokesman said: "The future regeneration of Old Oak requires everyone to work together for the common good - the boroughs, the Mayor, landowners and the local community.
"Our current consultation has so far attracted the views of over 1,000 local residents with over 80% in support of our stadium-led regeneration.
"The future of Old Oak lies in the regeneration of the entire area and not the uncoordinated and piecemeal development of individual land holdings."
