Joint statement about a Community Stadium at Newmarket : Wed May 03, 2017 12:51 pm  

Cllr Peter Box CBE, Leader of Wakefield Council and Jonathan Stone, Chairman of the Wakefield and District Community Trust, said:

“Following a very positive meeting on Wednesday 26 April we are confident that by working together we have identified a way to bring a community stadium at Newmarket to fruition.

We both welcome confirmation from the Developer that they would be willing to progress with a new multi-party Section 106 Agreement linked to a mixed use development that will include the delivery of a new community stadium at Newmarket.

Although discussions are in the early stages, we are committed to working closely with all parties involved to realise our shared ambition to create a community stadium for the citizens of Wakefield.”

Sounds nice and positive, thank you for the update.

What does "mixed use development" mean? Is it different to the existing development?

Good stuff. Keep up the good work.

Although relying on a cas fan and a rhinos fan to produce a stadium for Trinity seems a little strange

...keep up the good work, I.A., T.R.B, S.C. and the rest of the team.

Any news on the rumoured Clark's brewery development down there, or anything else in the pipeline to get us over the 60,000 sq.m ??

Thanks are due to all those that "raised a fuss" in the Press, on this forum and elsewhere for not letting them get away with it' People Power CAN work.
