Im sorry but what utopian part of the world do you live in. One with no charity shops, not one that sells what can only be described as garbage, has lower unemployment? Oh and high quality housing, and please before you answer i work in wakefield and ALL its surrounding areas. If your going to Have a pop make sure atleast you dont live in a glass house. HE was asked for the facts not a pop at wakey and gave facts simple, honestly if you have more things to worry about than tricky dicky and his spin.

But thanks for the heads up on Cas maybe you could put those across to get the council to pass proposed supermarket plans and consiquential investment in the town.

Bit of a reality check required, I think.

Like it or not, the choice of shops is a measure of economic strength. Locally, neither Cas or Wakefield can compete with Leeds. The inward investment over recent years has been huge, certainly since the transfer of the DHS. This has been laid by a forward-thinking council. Initially Labour controlled, but latterly a coalition. Other cities and towns have not had such.
This is clearly evidenced by two completely seperate projects, concerning the same requirement (sports stadia) within one motorway junction in the district.
One effect of this is passionate supporters arguing with one another over Poundshops.
