A retail development site in Wakefield has been restarted by a construction firm based in York after the development stalled owing to the credit crunch thus providing many jobs for the construction industry, and on completion providing much needed employment in the retail sector and on- going cleaning, supply, financial, accounting, maintenance and general management of the retail site.
More encouraging news comes from Rotherham where Rotherham Football Club have a former industrial site near to the town centre, not too far from their existing ground, which will again provide welcome jobs for construction workers in the building of new facilities for the Football Club.
In York, York City Football Club, although not apparently as advanced as Rotherham mentioned above, are also in discussion with the local authority etc concerning moving to a new site for their stadium / ground which would mean vacating their existing ground / stadium at Bootham Crescent.
Also in York, Planning Permission discussions have taken place for the former Terry?s Chocolate Factory site, thus the building and construction sector in Yorkshire has welcome news for the immediate and short-term, and longer term future.
