Just got a flyer through for one of our local candidates in the local elections.

One of his "promises" is to "campaign against the labour council's ridiculous decision to build the huge industrial estate on Newmarket, but ditch Wakefield Trinity's desperately needed new stadium"

Anyone?

Methinks he's not done his homework properly, if he checks out the numbers of those who have voiced their support for this development he ought to realise that they far outweigh those against.



With most of the country baying for coalition blood the Con Dems are on a sticky wicket to start with.

As far as i'm aware the stadium remains part of the plans. Not sure what they're on about.

Which party does he/she represent ? Clearly not Labour and I thought the Conservative Group supported Newmarket.

is this the councilor that has had a road relayed in his own parish kirkhamgate

shouldn't grumble as I use it but it didn't need the full road done

Richard Wakefield from the conservatives.

I have emailed him for a response.

Which ward do you live in ?

The Conservative group in Wakefield were defo in favour of the stadium and development so i am not sure why one candidate has put this on their leaflet.

Yes thats confused me, I just wondered if Kinleycat may be living in one of the Leeds wards.

Stanley & Outwood East.

Am I right in that he is claiming the council have ditched plans for the stadium but are ploughing on with the rest of the development. Is that his angle?

That seems to be the case.
