As far as we know, this development includes houses, relocating businesses, leisure facilities and offices and – thrown in at the end of said article – a hydroelectric plant.
Of course, there is no mention of blocks of flats in all this blurb. I heard this via the underground.
There will be meetings to hear people's views... where? St Paul's Church at the top of Tower Hill. I assume there will be a free bus to ferry Copley residents there.
It is said that ideas and suggestions will be passed on to the developer but to do what with? Light the fires on the building sites?
Calderdale Council and Yorkshire Forward will pay lip service to any queries and then just do what they intended to do in the first place.
If Kate Bennett believes all that garbage they've told her, she's lacking in common sense.
A lot of people in this area are unaware of the impact all this is going to have. Lots more cars, big lorries going to re-located businesses, they will all filter on to Wakefield Road at some point.
Then there is the impact on the infrastructure, schools, doctors, hospitals.
Whoever wrote Voice of Calderdale on August 28 knows zilch about Copley and anyone who is daft enough to buy a house so close to a river and a canal should make sure that their contract with the developer includes a clause that the developer will make good any damage caused by floodling.
We are all aware of the threat of global warming.
Whoever wrote this rubbish knows only one side of the story. I have been in touch about this since 2004, when the first meeting was held at Copley School, and have a pile of letters to prove it.
It's a beautiful little valley and is used by many, many people. Some of it has been made a mess of by the powers that be and also to provide a car park for HBOS and to make it easier for Calderdale council to get planning to develop.
As for grabbing the invitation with both hands, I know what I'd like to do with my hands – and it doesn't involve patting them on the back
