    Here Here - Absolutely necessary, and completely right that this decision should be scrutinised non-politically and with regard to the actual policies and advice of those qualified to provide it.

    Honest question.

    How would you feel if this is vindicated by an enquiry. Given a green light, but in the meantime those private investors pull out making the whole thing collapse?

    This was exactly the situation we had with the Barbican. The only people who lost out were the residents."

Call for Monks Cross stadium and shops inquiry

THE leader of York’s Green Party has written to the Government saying a public inquiry should be held over the Monks Cross community stadium and superstore scheme.

Proposals for new John Lewis and Marks & Spencer stores and a 6,000-seat home for York City FC and York City Knights were approved by City of York Council last month.

The council’s Green leader, Andy D'Agorne, has written to Communities Secretary Eric Pickles, saying the scheme was at odds with planning policy; would harm the city centre, York’s road network and its “heritage assets”; and would scupper future investment in the heart of the city.
