How have they got on today with the council anybody heard owt

I won't stand because it wont make a difference, of course you knew that you just wanted to misrepresent my point of view. I was making the point that raising it as a political issue would have most effect sooner rather than later due to the election.

Local political issues very rarely come into play at local election times. I stood many times in my younger days and was beaten by a proverbial donkey most times.

I'm sure I've read in one of the planning documents that a contract is in place with Cas to say it has been agreed the stadium must be built first.

Also, on the above point fair enough but the stadium has to have been built and constructed before anything can open.

I was told before it was announced that the supermarket would be M&S as said elsewhere on this thread. Whether that is the case I don't know. However, Sainsburys might move in if their plans don't come to fruition.

Not that I disagree with what your saying from a political stand point and I'm not trying to be pedantic here but aren't Batley and Dewsbury in the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees even though they have WF postcodes. Do postcodes come into it when it comes to elections, or is it the Council Authority your under?
