Tony Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 It's not as simple as that. No single organisation owns all these bits of land that you refer to, and sites are developed in isolation as a rule. The car park on the Yorkshire Grey will serve the St Paul's Place development, and as such, needs to be adjacent to it, not a few hundred yards away.

sccsux Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Get 6 signatures from adults on paper, then crash the next council meeting - they are obliged (by law) to hear & respond to your petition! Either that, or occupy the council offices ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Scarlet Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Leave the Yorkshire where it is ! It's one of the very rare old buildings in town and looks a lot better than Howden House and that Utopic modern bland centre the Council has stuck in its imagination !

nick2 Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Isn't it by the same architect that built Manchester town hall ? That is an impressive building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very. There is no justification for CPO'ing land just so you don't have to knock down the Yorkshire Grey. The courts would have a field day.

Either that, or occupy the council offices ;-) Why??? What's so special about it that warrants it being saved?? Its a run of the mill town centre pub..end of. Its of no historic significance nor is it especially visually appealing. Its not a hub of activity either so personally I don't reckon it'll be missed. Its not like there isn't much other choice in the city centre anyway. You'd think the Queen was born there and there wasn't a pub within 10 miles the way some people are going on about it.

It's an old building and it should be protected. I know it's not listed or anything like that, but the building adds character to seemingly bland buildings around it and should be saved. How many more buildings are going to be pulled down so developers can erect a bland structures in their place. Besides, it is proposed that the Yorkshire Grey will be replaced by a car park (not at all a blot on the landscape is it?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
