Meeting with Ed Balls MP

Hi all

Just a reminder to please attend the meeting about the proposals with Ed Balls MP tomorrow, Friday 13th May at 5pm, at the Bay Horse, Bradford Road Wrenthorpe.

Hope to see you there, and hopefully all our councillors will be there too

A meeting with our MP

Mr Ed Balls has agreed to meet with us on Friday the 13th May at 5pm at the Bay Horse pub on Bradford road.

We are assured that Mr Balls wants to hear our points of view and that he is on our side against the local authority.

It will be interesting to hear how he feels about the proposals, so please come along!

Rachel and Paul

Website

Hi all

I am in the process of updating the website, and have added a News page (which is very new so a bit sparse!) which also has a public comments box.

Don't know what you think but maybe it would be good to get lots of comments on there?

Plus any news/ website improvement suggestions/ pictures/ general supportive info that could go on the site will be gratefully received!

cheers

Paul

Last day for comments to the council

Hi all

Objections to the council's LDF proposals have to be in by 5pm today

If you know of anyone who has not signed the petition, please encourage them to do so today - we will be emailing it to the council just before the deadline.

Also, of course, please send your own personal objections to the council - they are starting to grasp the depth of anger in Wrenthorpe, I hope!

After today, the proposals will go to the Government, so we intend to keep the pressure on -- this petition will stay up.

I have been informed that if 90% of the population object to proposed development, by law it cannot be allowed to happen. I will look further into this

Kind Regards

Rach

This morning

Thanks to all who turned out on a chilly morning to meet the photographer and journalist from the Wakey Express, it was great to meet you

The online petition has now reached 189 signatures, which is fantastic, but please keep spreading the word!

Press publicity #2

Great news, our campaign has been featured in the Yorkshire Post

http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/around-yorkshire/local-stories/rhubarb_rumble_as_site_faces_housing_threat_1_3246706

Hopefully it will also feature in the YEP - and please try to get to the Wakey Express photoshoot at 10am on Monday - I know it is a bad time for many but a good crowd would be wonderful - at the "Keep Wrenthorpe" etc.sign at the corner od Bradford/Brandy Carr Roads

Thanks for your support, let's keep the pressure up - and increase it.

Press publicity

Hi all

We have sent a press release to the Wakefield Express, YEP and Yorkshire Post

The WE have provisonally arranged a photographer to take a pic at the "Keep Wrenthorpe a Village" sign, which is situated at the corner or Brandy Carr and Bradford Roads.

This is pencilled in for 10am on Monday. It would be great if we could see as many people as possible there.

If this changes we will let you know.

Best Regards

Rach
