Where does the money go?

Despite hard times and the budget reductions WMDC has raked together up to £4.5 million to put a “Northern Relief road” at the back of the Prince of Wales site. 

This would be fine if Wakefield planning committee hadn’t given permission for 540 new houses to access Park Road directly, a recipe for absolute chaos.  Why not invest in our crumbling roads, resolve the grid lock at Town End, sort out our under-funded parks, improve pupil teacher ratios and add PCSOs? All a much better use of the public’s money!
