I don't know what you are all on about, Wakefield is only a city because of the cathedral, it has slowly lost city status in Yorkshire for several years, most item's have been moved to Leeds the last being dioceses, Wakefield is in the diocese of Leeds & is heading for being in the so named "City area of leeds" similar to the GMC & GLC, Leeds will take over, eventually.
Our council s long term plan for the city is to create a new council housing estate with in the city centre, it does not understand city status & never has, we are 5 towns which will become 6 more under leeds.
Soon there will be no Wakefield College, this is set to be " Yorkshire College" so the college may eventually stop playing rugby league & therefore another arm lost to trinity !!!!
