John Alott spoke well today at the enquiry in support of the Newmarket development any one who can spare any time tomorrow i would appeal should go along and listen for 30mins and show your support quietly. Well done John.

Ihope to be there approx 2pm it would be nice to have a bit of company.

Hi all, this is my first ever post so please be nice. Tracked this forum for the last couple of years hoping to get an update on the current news relating to wakey, I find many posts interesting and some very comical. Its good though that there is a medium for us all to share our views.

Am particulary interested in the current public inquiry due to being a wakefield supporter and my future career aspirations (I am currently completing my degree in sports business). Am hoping to come along tomorrow to view some of the day and gain some experience in the process etc.

Apologies if this is posted elsewhere but just a few questions:
Does anyone know the process of being allowed into view? where do I need to be and at what time? is there a dress code? and the topics to be discussed?

Thanks
Wrenstudent

Are you sure its the right forum




Welcome.

Go into town hall front desk will direct you to room. Sign book at entrance and just walk in. No dress code

I'm intending to stick my head round the door tomorrow, work schedule permitting.

Looking at the running order I would get there in the morning . There is only one witness and I suspect they intend to finish at lunch if not long after. statrs at 10

Jeez these guys bust a gut, i hope they don't over do it.

Half a day friday and they have saturday, sunday and monday off too!! you have got to admire the commitment dont you?

Its not hard to work out why this country is up the spout is it.

unless your from cas and you can get away with a clowns outfit

They probably have to spend some time examining the evidence that's been put forward too. They can't all be builders watching another bloke dig a hole.

Whats up with that I have monday to Friday off and then really enjoy my weekend

Me too.

Yes am sure, some of you do talk sense (now and again) however there is times I do think why am I reading about ruben wiki being linked to trinity for the 60th time in 5 years (am still waiting). My current dissertation is based on Wakefield supporters and their attitudes therefore I come on here now and again just to stimulate ideas of which I should be including.
Am a big wakey fan (gold membership collected today

), some of you will probably recognise me through Pete Oliver RIP, am his nephew.

Thanks for the info, I will be there just before ten tomorrow in support of the cause.

Good man

You jest, but most of my work over recent months has been with local authority 'officials' and I can say with certainty that almost to a man, they are more useless than you can possibly imagine.

There literally is no wonder the country is on its knees - it's run by numbskulls, dunderheads and dullards.

Bit miffed about Monday. Was going to make one in. Nice work if you can get it!

When Mr Stephens has sat for numerous days and finished recording all the facts from both sides. He then submits his documentation to the secretary of state for communities, Mr Eric Pickles. Mr Pickles then makes a decision, this decision will certainly be one of the biggest and most important decisions made in the clubs history. Should he choose to use the two letter word, no professional teams will exist in Wakefield for the public of Wakefield to follow in this great city of ours. Crime rates will soar current jobs will be lost as well as new,the national health bill will soar with all sorts of health issues connected with the loss of having something for our children and childrens children to aspire to. In reality it is DO or DIE.

Well I'm here.
I need a map to understand where the green belt boundary is!

The river Calder is the eastely boundry and the M1 motorway is the westery one. However there is only limited green belt land there. It is mainly old pit stacks and the area where the stadium is proposed is totaly pit stacks. Granted there is some agricultural land there but there is also a lot of derelict land. I have lived in that area for years and I have never seen any rare birds or animals, there are some foxes on there but nothing out of the ordinary.

What people are failing to grasp, I think, is that as a result of the new LDF and the landscaping works carried out by YCP there will be a NET GAIN of 1% in green belt land across the District.

Are they failing to grasp it Clan, or are they wilfully refusing to acknowledge it?

More the latter, as their whole argument is based around greenbelt, even though they don’t mind greenbelt elsewhere being built upon.

TBF the Yorkscourt stuff has no impact on the Green Belt - it is the addition of other sites in the distict, including colliery sites at Fryston / Wheldale, Frickley and Rabbit Ings (Monkton) that will see a nett increase in Green Belt.

This is 3-dimensional thinking all linked between the needs of the district, planning rules and the spaces available.
