i don't usually fully charge mine I also have a 90%limit when I use a DC charger as they can impact on the battery life after several years.

Are electric cars now competitively priced?
Is there one yet that is capable of towing a caravan?

No, and yes

In fact, electric cars with sufficient power, of which there are many, are ideal as electric cars offer far more torque than either petrol or diesel.

Their Achilles heel remains their range and charging times, which is still unacceptable to me.

I'm all for them but I'm not going to be a trendsetter I'm afraid, I'll wait until the next generation. are available.

Thread drift!

Anyhow I'm hoping by the time I'm ready to get a new car Hydrogen technologyand infrastructure will have moved on, electric cars are currently unaffordable and lets be honest the country's electrical network will not be able to cope with the demand should the majority switch, certainly not without significant investment and disruption.

True

Let’s get back on Topic and forget about electric cars, the developers have hopefully addressed the council’s initial concerns over the number of cycles parking spaces and car park lights.

Cycle Parking
The Council have requested enhanced cycle parking facilities. The enclosed drawings illustrate 16- no. staff parking spaces located to the southern side of the car park. These proposed spaces accompany the 40-no. public cycle parking spaces proposed, meaning the site will be served by a total of 56-no. spaces in total.
Car Park Lighting Plan
The Council have requested the provision of a car park lighting plan. Plan ref. WBS-63-00-E102- P1 Proposed Lighting Plan illustrates the lighting proposals which comprise: • 3-no. 8m columns with 1 x 2-no. head Orion LED lanterns AL4501/320W;
• 14-no. Wall Mounted AL60601/28W Revati Bulkhead (Mounted at 4m High);

You started it DS - you mentioned electric cars first!


Seriously, and back on track, I don't see anything in your text that should cause a serious issue in respect of planning. I look forward to getting the thumbs up on the 16th of THIS MONTH!!

The green light on the 16th would be fantastic news

I'm confident but would be more so if it were not tied to plot 8

Agree, time will tell . Not long in time either.

I know planning postion is not always straight forward but for first time im many a year im confident of seeing the what would be massive improvement in belle vue, in john minards and m carter we have 2 guys who seem to know what they are doing they delivered in owning the ground now they will deliver the next stage too.

Agreed but also should it all go smoothly, a nod of appreciation to the new regime at the council.

This simply would not have happened under Box, whose treachery towards the sporting public of Wakefield was a scandal.

Just goes to show what a supportive council can help to achieve. Had this lot been in charge ten years ago we’d have been playing out of NM for years now. Ditto Cas and to a lesser degree Fev would be in a far stronger position.

All three would be in SL and I reckon we’d be up there chasing honours.

It’s very unusual in life to say this but only one man is to blame and that’s Box. Sure Walker and YC did their worst but it was the job of Box to make sure they didn’t and in this his key roll he failed miserably.

I do hope in time he’s caught out and expunged from the record, horrible man imho.
