We have decided, in the spirit of total transparency and openness, to release online the "Head of Terms Agreement" sent to the Wakefield and District Community Trust, from Wakefield MDC, and prepared by Yorkcourt. In order to provide context to the document we are also providing a link to the original Newmarket Section 106 Agreement and the Five Towns Park Section 106 Agreement, under which the new Castleford Tigers stadium is going to be funded and built. This agreement is the one Peter Box described as 'perfect' and the one he wanted to negotiate and replicate for the new Newmarket agreement... but didn't get even close to getting, as you can see!

I understand what you are saying and I know very little about buying/selling land and developing it.
However, if Yorkcourt had/have no intention of doing what they promised, it just cannot be right for them to carry on regardless, it's just wrong.

I agree - it's "just plain wrong" but sadly that's a moral judgement rather than a legal one. Yorkcourt appear to have no morals at all and I bet if the council try to hold up/deny planning permission/penalise them in any way, they will be straight to the High Court to sue the council. Given the complex nature of the companies and directors I reckon they have everything covered so they never lose financially. They don't seem to care about their reputation. From previous posts it appears that the land for the ground is owned by the farmer with Yorkcourt having an option to buy. I'd love to know how that "option" is framed. Who has the "option"? I bet it's Yorkcourt's and the farmer and council will have no say. Again I bet that the agreement stops the farmer selling to anyone else e.g. the council or the club. They will have it all sewn up nice and tidy.

It's a complete farce, I just don't get how PB's mind works, unless he's up to his neck in the brown stuff with Yorkcourt.
So my conclusion, we have a business in Yorkcourt that promised to build a community stadium once trigger points were hit, they managed to swerve past the trigger point with help from Rodders and the council resulting in no community facilities being built and YC just walking away having built nothing for the people of Wakefield!
We then get to this week and the Heads of terms single page paper outlining funk all? Our glorious leader PB then gets on his high horse, he's gonna "give them what for", he decides we've been let down ( no Sherlock) , he then suggests that Yorkcourt ought to walk away from Wakefield and Newmarket in particular. So he's saying you've not built anything for us in five years, you obviously don't intend to, on your way! Job done YC, never intended to build and not pressured to build........Cheers Peter, you showed them!
