You still haven't mentioned in your capacity as a town planner what you would have planned for the land allotted to the trinity walk scheme, as for building a new ground for trinity, that was pure sarcasm btw.
Not sure what would have been the best thing for the land that Trinity Walk now occupies but, town planning in Wakefield has been awful.
The debacle over the old indoor and outdoor market, which were basic but, functional, replaced by a failed "indoor market" and with market stalls now lining the old precinct - once the pride of the city centre but, now, an eyesore.
If I'm honest, it's hard to remember what occupied the land where Trinity Walk now stands.
Some of it was the outside market but, I cant picture the rest.
The one certainty is that the City centre is badly lacking any cohesion and the ridings, once the jewel in the crown, is now a glorified jumble sale (Trinity shop of course, excluded

We could go on and discuss the old Clayton hospital site.
The hospital closed in 2012 and has fallen further and further into disrepair.
I understand that at some point it will be developed jointly as part of WGHS and QEGS but, for almost 10 years, it's been an absolute mess.
On the plus side, the area around Wakefield College and the new History Centre are coming on nicely, so, it's not all bad.
