stakeholder

Fifa's official position has always been it will discuss expansion ideas with its stakeholders and it is duty bound to consider any proposals from its council members.

Green noted that Dignity Memorial has already started speaking with local stakeholders, despite plans not yet being submitted.

"We are actively engaging with staff, local partners, and wider stakeholders to address these pressures and ensure that patient care and community services are supported in the long term," he added.

"It's up to other people who have got more at stake - the biggest stakeholders in the sport I guess."

Smith said that notice of the project was published in local newspapers and sent to various stakeholders.
