On what grounds?

The effect on the existing town...but you knew that anyway.

Cas is already a Pound shop paradise and is verging on a ghost town.



A big supermarket build may kill it off.



Then of course there are the traffic issues.

what the pound shops

No dont panic Snowie, but the fear is that it would just about everything else off, leaving just pound shops, gambling arcades and bookies.

There's also objections from ASDA and after having been begged for years to move into Cas you can expect Morrisons to lodge one too.



There's also the fact that Cas pulled every favour they could and badgered the WMDC to rezone, against the existing plan, parts of Wheldon Rd for housing so they could sell to Ben Bailey homes. No sooner had WMDC bent over backwards to change the classification in the new LDF, RW and cronies do an immediate U-turn and ask for it to be rezoned again for commercial.



As dBoy said the Gov't shift in policy might be Castlefords best chance of avoiding a PI, good luck to em.

that will be a bit of good luck, don't want to lose my gladioli supplier

12 months ago I was certain ours wouldn't. Who knows?



Good luck to Cas. I want both in the top flight.

Unfortunately for you, that will be thrown out because the council wants more Supermarkets in Castleford because currently there aren't enough.

Bless. Not stopped predicting things after your last 'Gentle' effort then. I'd stop talking about things you have no idea about if I was you. Whilst i'll give you there probably will be a supermarket built in cas, lets just say Opus are keeping there options open as to where the supermarket could be built. That 22,000 petition says that a lot of people support a new supermarket. The Wheldon Road bit is immaterial in the scheme of things. Out of interest, have Tesco signed that heads of terms agreement yet?

Is that what Gentle told you or did you hear it on button moon?







I hope both clubs can get sorted very soon for the sake of RL in this area.
