At its meeting on the 21st of April 2010, the full council meeting reviewed the results of the 2nd stage consultation exercise and based on the volume of representations made, voted that the Parish/Town Council proposal for Pontefract should not proceed, this by a decisive majority of 60 votes to 1.
A situation that will bring peace of mind to the clear majority of respondents who oppose the idea, and will frustrate the members of the group "Pontefract Forward" and their supporters.
Meanwhile people do want value for money, a sense that taxes are spent wisely and that Pontefract draws down its share of resources. The six existing Pontefract Councillors elected by the community need to get on and address problems and concerns, building positive change that takes account of local peoples needs and priorities so that they feel better about Pontefract and its future.
