I'd have thought that tomorrows' game would be a good chance to let it be known to all Wakey fans that if they haven't made a comment on the WMDC site now is the time ,with only about 114 for the application,that leaves a large proportion of Wakey fans that haven't commented yet.If we could get a few hundred people to make sure they register and comment out of the thousands of fans there it would make a huge difference.
To be fair, I think that is exactly what you need to get organised. If you produce a basic flyer, explaining why it is important (the WCCG flyer getting lots of attention from people just wanting to moan at Wakefield City Council) that they put in positive comments. Ask them to look at the SWAG counter flyer online, and then go to the planning web site and make positive comment.
Will the club not run them through the photocopier for you as a favour? If you made them A5 size and got a two boxes of cheap photo copy paper, you could run off 10,000 in not much time at all? What about a local printers? Do any sponsor the club, would they run them through as favour to SWAG?
Just to let you know, I am intending to e-mail my 3 Ward 15 councillors (Stanley & Outwood), who also cover Newmarket Lane, as well as all the current members of the planning committee, and point out that the current level of objections being seen is being swayed by the flyer being commercial distributed by Face the Future Ltd. I suspect if they are unaware of it (they might not be), they may be thinking that public opinion is turning against the scheme however, I think if it is pointed out, then they will at least understand that in large part these objection are indeed people just moaning for the sake of moaning. Either way, as we all the know, the objections contained on the flyer are all addressed by the planning application, so they do not have a sound basis for objection in relation to planning law.
