Has anyone else seen the Wakefield express article posted today about the section 106 agreement for the re development. I’m abit confused as I thought that whole agreement was specifically for the development of Belle vue so why do some councillors have issue with it? It questions the funding transferring to new owners. I thought the money was given to us to allow newcold to build on land. Do we have to pay that money back? And also the sum of money states 6million was put towards it when I thought it was more 8million given via the 106. Does anyone with more knowledge of it understand or can explain. Sorry I don’t know how to link the article on here

It's Stuart Heptinstall fwiw, born on Portobello moved onto Eastmoor when he was about 4 year old, lived on park Lodge till he married a Stanley lass one of the rugby playing family the Lindley's,
Well known around Stanley, Stuart was well known Wakey councilor and deputy chairman and did his fair share trying to get trinity the new ground at Moorehouse.

Wakefield Trinity? Other than not getting what was originally promised, no. The wider public? Yes.

It was definitely Steve, Stuart is Steves dad and I'm pretty sure Stuart worked for NCB his whole career, not aware Stuart ever did any sport reporting - unless it was on the darts & dominoes in Primrose Hill WMC.

Nope, it was definitely Steve that worked as a sports reporter for the Express

Yes ,definitley was Steve, Stuart, his dad was a good mate of mine growing up on Eastmoor in the '50s and '60s. he lived a few doors up from me on Park Lodge Lane at the Parkhill pit end of Park Lodge Lane.
He worked at the colliery as an electrician if i remember correctly. He has been a councillor for years and years for the Eastmoor area and was Mayor of Wakefield a few years ago.
