Guys, calm down, well just a little! icon_wink.gif

The new seat of Elmet and Rothwell is now a marginal and is no. 107 of the Tories hit list. The old seat of Elmet was Tory but now Rothwell has been added it would be predicted to be a Labour Seat and the Tories requiring a projected 11.4% swing (based on 2005 results from both seats) to them to take this new seat. As such it is no surprise to me that all the candidates are all making a fuss of what would appear (and I use the term appear quite purposefully) to be a rising local issue. They might currently be local councillors but one of them will be the MP soon and they all want it to be them.

What better way to bring about local support and votes by saying they object to it. Of course, it has nothing to do with them and is outside their constituency, but which ever one wins the seat will I am sure fight hard, even against their own party, to stop this development! When they don't succeed (which they probably won't) they will be of course tell everyone how hard they tried and ultimately they did everything they could. You need to think sly now, that is what they are doing!

Also for the Tory, it is next to the seat that Ed Balls currently occupies and also will contest in the new Outwood & Morley seat. Although the Tories are not targeting the seat as such, as the predicted swing required is huge (20%), they are going all out to attack Balls personally and as a current government Minister and Anthony Calvert is talking about a possibly 'Portillo' moment! They would like to see Balls majority reduced substantially at best.

As for Leeds City Council as a whole, Ed Balls, Anthony Calvert, the Lib Dem (????), the three current councillors for ward 15 (Stanley & Outwood) and the candidates for ward 15 are all keeping (in public) quiet... at least for the moment! That should tell you much about what you need to know!

Oh, and also the largest employers and the majority of the jobs in which will be their new constituency of Elmet and Rothwell, do not rely on these types of developments or lower skilled workers however, Outwood and Morley does!

To quote the BBC website about both areas -

"Elmet and Rothwell is a mixture of rural communities and small towns stretching around the east of Leeds. Its electoral wards are Garforth and Swillington, Harewood, Kippax and Methley, Rothwell and Wetherby. The constituency is named after the town of Rothwell and the last Celtic kingdom in Britain to be overrun by the Anglo-Saxons.

Rothwell is the main market town in the former mining area, which also includes the smaller Garforth and Swillington. These are all now primarily commuter towns for Leeds. Though all the mines have been closed, many former miners still live in the vicinity with associated health problems.

To the north is the affluent market and racing town of Wetherby.

Outwood & Morley

"The areas traditional industries, such as textiles in Morley and mining in Outwood, have all but vanished, but the constituency has made a good recovery, buoyed by a diversified economy and the proximity to the booming city of Leeds.

The constituency is at the crossroads of the M1 and M62 motorways, and employers include engineering and distributive trades, many on industrial estates.

The area has become commuter territory and new housing is threatening to join up the villages between the two cities into something more like a single giant suburb."

When I spoke to York hall developers they said the ground is the 1st priority before anything. The residents at Methley who I have spoke to are not against the ground just the industrial stuff. So lets get the ground built and let them protest about the rest. The rest has nothing to do with us (wakey fans).

You spoke to the wrong people then. Yorkcourt developers are the ones planning this development, and no industrial units means no ground.

Don't be so naive - if there is no industrial development - there is no stadium!

That's a long way from what you were told - which in itself is correct - that if this all gets PP, the stadium comes first. That's how the contracts are written!

I suspect you know the details and are just trolling however, you can guarantee that if the development was going to be just the stadium you would still get the objections about the location, we saw this before the full details were revealed in the Express and at the www.idontwantanythingbuiltnearme.com website.

Quote: Inflatable_Armadillo "<snip>'"


Completely agree with all of that. There's even the considerable likelihood that such intra-party spats have been sanctioned at national level... you know, show the local candidate to be his/her own man/woman, and when the results have been counted, we'll all go back to where we were. One party could profit by having 2 candidates with completely opposing ideas on this issue.

Taking the stadium out of the equation completely for one moment: If the developer is correct, and the site generates, say, 1,000 new jobs, that could mean something in the region of 10 million pounds per annum for the local economy in wages alone. There would either have to be very serious and insurmountable structural or ecological issues with the development, or you'd have to be as thick as pig to turn down such an investment with a depressed local economy and the national economy in the state it's in.

It doesn't mean to say you have to support the development at all costs. Objections are not necessarily a bad thing - they can fine-tune a development to meet everyone's needs, or highlight important issues that for one reason or another may have been overlooked - but if the objections are looked at and suitable measures put in place to address them, then there's little scope for further complaint, other than "well, I still don't like it!" icon_wink.gif

Did any of these residents have a problem with the Coal mine that used to be there with unsightly pit stacks and pit head and the rumblings of coal laden trucks that used to travel up and down the roads at all hours??? No they didnt because theyve all probably moved in after this and are quite happy with their semi rural lifestyle. you lot (a dozen of you) on newmarket lane get a grip, stop moaning and button it. as for you lot at methley probably mostly cas fans just because your plans for a stadium has hit the rocks stop trying to put the skids under ours!!!!
