Wakefield - we're sexy and we mow it!


Regenerating the district's grassed areas is a never-ending process, as we continue to keep Wakefield looking green and great this spring!

Enjoy a great day out and support the district's budding young entrepreneurs


Be sure to stop by Castleford Indoor Market on Saturday 25 May to support local young entrepreneurs taking part in the Young Traders Market event.

Going, Going, Gone! Making way for Castleford’s exciting new Riverside regeneration project


Have you noticed a little more sky on the horizon down by the river in Castleford? Work has started to remove some of the old, derelict houses there, and will continue to include the demolition of the abandoned Crimea Tavern. Safety hoardings have been put in place and feature artist's impressions of what the two new public riverside parks will look like once complete.
