Quote ="The Clan"I just had an aunt move back to Wakefield from Kensington,, London after 30 years being away and she could not believe how things have changed. From her perspective Ings Rd etc is new and different from how she remembers Wakefield, imagine how different it will look when everything's done.
Westgate regeneration
Trinity Walk
New Market house
Bus station
Soon to be rebuilt Westgate Rail stn
The Hepworth
Waterfront developments
New Bull ring
Soon to be extended Ridings Centre
New swimming baths set to start soon
Hopefully A new stadium and other sports facilities
We need to get Kirkgate and the bottom of Westgate sorted and then things will look hugely different.
If Wakefield College ever revamp their ambitions to become a University the regeneration will take on another lease of life.'"
I've got family that emigrated to Oz back in the 70's and came back to Wakey for the first time since the early 90's and they were really impressed, with what has been done around the place but like they said, they've had to do so much work, to improve the City because a part from the Ridings, and Lightwaves nothing at all had been done to the city , in 40-50 years, which is a absolute scandalous, especially considering how much money we've all paid to the Local Council.
