Call for Monks Cross stadium and shops inquiry

8:54am Wednesday 6th June 2012 in News

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.
