Even York with a fifth rate football team and third rate RL team are backed to a great degree by their council in their sporting facilities'
I maintain that the City of Wakefield, below their Fleur De Lys coat of Arms, should have the motto: "TEK ALL, GIV NOWT"

And as parking charges we're mentioned earlier in the thread it was mentioned on Ridings FM today record taking from pinderfields parking I think they said 3 million. I wonder where that will be spent, I bet I still have my council tax increased.

I'm no lover of the council but not sure how you can blame parking charges at Pinders on them. It raises money for the NHS which is a good thing in my opinion. Probably to treat ill health caused by lack of sports facilities in the City caused by the council.

Up the Trin

Balfour Beaty own Pinderfields, NHS, council whoever pay rent, barmy I know so I imagine they also net the 3 million. It’s too daft to laugh at, there must have been some massive brown envelopes dished out

No, it's BB alright. And all done under a Labour PFI, before anyone starts singing the Red Flag.

Missus has her nurses parking payment deducted from her wage by the Trust, on behalf of BB.

Stinks, I rest my case

Well you all know what to do don't vote for them.

I'm a socialist, and don't agree with PFI at all, but tell me how else we were going to get a new hospital built in Wakefield then dboy

Unbelievable, most other trusts parking charges go back to into the NHS i.e. Leeds teaching trust thought that would be the case at Pinders.

Perhaps we could let a developer have some land out of the green belt and a S106 saying they have to build a hospital in return for the planning gain. Oh, hang on............
