I've been checking the Wakefield Planning Website once a week at least so that I could post a link up on here for you when it has been but there's been nothing yet. I can only assume that is because it's Christmas and everyone has been out of office etc. It did say in one of the articles though that it was expected to be December/January when it would be.

I live in Wrenthorpe just behind the redhall development and with Unit 41 just up the road. Both of these developments have been extremely positive to the community creating thousands of jobs without really effecting day to day life. Progress is progress.
Newmarket is perfect for this development and providing top class sporting facillies as well.
Providing much needed sports facilities. Providing much needed jobs on an ex pit without any council funding.

I really don't get the point you are trying to make.
Will these units be smelly, noisy affairs? Not in relative terms at all.
Are you suggesting we don't press ahead with these plans because of the 'concerns' you raise? You are quite entitled to that opinion - but don't expect me to agree with it!

While we're talking about heritage, lets talk about Trinity's proud heritage as one of the founding members of the Rugby League, a proud working class sport that decided it had had enough of the fact that money, and not skill, decided whether you could play the game. This new code forged tremendous links with the working population in large parts of Northern England, on both sides of the Pennines but nowhere more intimately than the Wakefield area, where along with cricket it overshadowed all other sports to provide relief from the drudgery of everyday working life. It used to be said that if a team needed a classy half-back they could shout down any pit shaft in Wakefield and get a hatful of worthy contenders.
What better way to preserve this heritage than to build a new stadium on an abandoned pit! Re-form the old prize winning Newmarket/Silkstone Brass Band, have them playing on match days, and call the Stadium the 'Up Yours, Thatcher!' stadium.
Thats what I call Heritage - wildlife generally looks after itself, thats why some of the best places to see wildlife are derelict sites and railways!

That is NOT a word to be used in this debate, IMO. It should be reserved for those special people who really deserve it, and I object to it being used for everyday abuse.

| The irony of all of this is that I rely on Mr Box (or whoever will make the decision) to approve the scheme for the benefit of the city because of the way the Thornes Park project went.
My rationale for this is that Mr Box et al acted for how they thought the city was best served, regardless of how it affected those who would have benefited from a different decision. Even though it was contrary to what everyone on here wanted, I assume that they took into account the overall benefit to Wakefield when considering the cost, the traffic problems, the impact on local residents for what was in reality just a new home to the city's rugby club. They thought that the minuses outweighed the pluses, perhaps bouyed by the thought that the franchise decision had just bought them three years thinking time.
Compare this to the Newmarket scheme. In weighing up the pluses and minuses, there is no contest. Thornes Park wouldn't have provided hundreds of new jobs to the people of the district in the way that Newmarket will, and Newmarket will not affect as many residents. Also, the area can hardly be described as tranquil, on the edge of the motorway.
So if we look at the precedent of how those making the decisions have acted before, I can't see any other decision being reached than approval.
So to the residents, as someone has already said, get involved with the scheme to make sure your voices are heard in order to minimise its impact, and stop using arguments of residents in a residential area to strengthen the arguments for the project, as the video simply bolsters the argument to move the ground away from Agbrigg.

Good post, any new devlopment affects somebody but the negatives in this development far, far outweigh the negatives...

| The nerve of some people, coming onto a RL forum to air their own opposing views about the proposed new Community Stadium , what would be better than having a nice modern development in place of a desolate no doubt littered wasteland at Newmarket???, I know which I would rather pick!!
I used to live in Glasshoughton right at the back of where Castleford's new stadium will hopefully be located, in fact you from my old house you could watch the progress of the build!, would the noise and traffic bother me NO, but im biased, im a RL fan .
Anyway all the best with the PP, hope to be watching the derbies, Cas at Newmarket and Wakey at Glasshoughton
