Nothing will change while ever the good people of Wakefield keep voting Labour in the local elections. Many people have indicated in strong terms on here that they would never ever ever ever ever not vote Labour and that's their prerogative and fair play to them. Wakefield is the only council that has never changed its party in power. Safe in this knowledge Box has built his fiefdom of lies, scheming and deceit surrounding himself with lackeys, sycophants and yes men who do his bidding, chief sycophant been Jeffries who can`t lie straight in bed, who Box controls by putting her in a safe Cas seat. The privately educated, highly paid, mansion living Labour leader Box`s worst trait is that he is a Bully, a sickening Bully. His hold on power is absolute and is unchallenged, the last person to stand up to him Robin Foster was sacked from his position as Chief Exec I think , costing the tax payer in the region of half a million pounds, ( Box happy to pay this to get rid of the dissenter ) and filled the position with his lap dog Joane Rooney who is happy to do Box`s` bidding as she is paid in excess of £ 120,000 p.a. We have a rotten Borough a rotten council and a rotten council leadership.

We have a top planning Lawyer working with us and we will be advised by him.

In my opinion our route is to the High Court rather than the Ombudsman if the Council don't resolve this but as I say we will be advised by our Lawyer.

Just like Sept Blatter , Boxes chickens will come home to roost , they always do

Looks a bit like a dogs dinner. Those not telling the truth will be found out as one lie leads to another to cover the previous one.

Would that be a BOXer dog ??????

I'll get my coat.............

Any plans for a mass demonstration against the Council outside the town hall during a council sitting??

No plans for any mass show of support - at this time!

See our 'esteemed leader' has just been on Look North. Had to turn the sound down and seethe in silence.

Could we be right in assuming sandal cat,that if we went down the high court route, that this might jolt the council into back tracking and sorting their mess out before the lawyers bills started dropping on boxes table? .. Providing there is a water tight case..

Watched it my self WT,could've kicked the Telly round the the room,the lying,weasel faced piece of,any way the Telly survived,just.

Same here BL'sM. There could have been a big pile of broken telly's down at Denby Dale Road tip tomorrow morning.

Quite often once legal proceedings are instigated it can indeed jolt the other party into settling before the matter gets to the High Court. However you need to have the cash to commence the proceedings and be prepared to take your case all the way.

No Lawyer will ever tell you that you have a watertight case and there is always a risk that however much you are confident of your case the Judge may not see it your way.

The problem is the cost of instigating proceedings. The Stadium Trust will need to raise a substantial amount of money but the Council will just use the Council Taxpayers money to fund a defence. The Supporters Trust has investigated and found a crowdfunding web site who will allow us to raise money to fund such a legal challenge if it comes to it.

No one wants to take this to the High Court, we want to see the Council enforce the Section 106 Agreement/UU and the Developer to deliver what they promised the citizens of Wakefield at the Public Inquiry, however if they are not prepared to deliver on that promise we are prepared to take the matter to the High Court by way of a Judicial Review.

When JFK came to power, the CIA noted that things just didn't get done as JFK and those after him started to employ lawyers rather than military men as advisers. If told to do something, a military person would work out how to do it, whereas a lawyer would merely work out a way to weasel out of it. By the way, I'm a lawyer.

From Sandal's earlier post, reading it as a lawyer, I'm assuming the problem is that the council won't stump up the 2 million. Yorkcourt can say that the unilateral undertaking is dependent on the council paying 2 million. The phrase "unilateral undertaking" means a promise by one party acting alone. So I'm guessing that the council are saying that they are not obligated to pay anything as they haven't undertaken to pay anything.

So there is an impasse, a stalemate, the council refusing to pay 2 million, and Yorkcourt saying that was the precondition as part of the undertaking.

Assuming I've read it right.

My take the council don't want to enforce Yorkcourt to do anything as WMDC are complicit with the whole front of using the stadium/community facilities to deliver Newcold. I have my own theory why certain public servants don't want to delve into the shady dealings and it doesn't smell great. I cant think of any other reason as to their reluctance to due their duty and the trotting out the faux legal advice claim.

I hope TRB, IA, Sandal Cat can be the catalysts that bring this rotten borough council down.
