  If any reader would like to see the Monks Cross 2 decision which was carried by an overwhelming majority proceed without further costly delaying tactics by those with self-interest the first step is to write to the;

  Alternatively you could now e mail the Secretary of State direct at
  eric.pickles@communi
  
  
  
  
  ties.gsi.gov.uk
  
  State you support the project and enclose the planning application numbers 11/02581/OUTM and 11/02199/OUTM
  
  Nothing could be easier!!
  
  Example support could be e.g. more jobs, greater freedom of shopping choice, improved sporting facilities for our very successful football and rugby clubs, additional community and NHS facilities and access for all to York’s Explore library and information centre. That should be enough, but if more is needed then the fact that three major out of town centres have been developed and have not resulted in the Armageddon type catastrophe as predicted by those who are now objecting about two shops (one of whom is already present at Monks Cross) and a super new sports complex.

  You do realise that "support" letters are irrelevant in the decision making process. The simple trip is that someone asks for a call in and the the SecState makes a decision based on the fact.
  
  but if you want to waste your time jog on.

  Glad you think so. By the same token then objection letters are also pointless.
  
  But dont let that spoil your day!
  
  At the very least it is a tangible reminder to those making the decision that for every objection letter (of which i am sure there are a few) the is at least one additional person in support of the project. Whether you believe that matters to popularity hungry politicians or not I don't really care.
  
  Of course, I have also received a response from the office of Erik Pickles which states my opinion DOES matter and will be taken into consideration. If, like you say, writing in support has no effect then why say this, and not a standard letter which states that they will not take support letters into consideration - they are just inviting more letters of support with the reply I received.
  
  Could it actually be that as a long term opposer of this development YOU want supporters to believe that there is nothing they can do to help push the development through?
  
  Hmm I wonder..."
