Actually there is a bit more to it than that - although that may be all that has been reported. Farsley Celtic also have a planning application in - which I, as a local resident have placed a personal objection to - to extend their offices and administration buildings, add extra training pitches etc etc, some very major works - which of course attracted the attention of the local councillors, Andrew Carter included. It may well be that the camera gantry, which I admit to never having noticed, even though my rear upstairs windows almost overlook the place, became a matter of contention with other closer residents whilst the councillors attention was focused on the place.

I'm sure there are geniune reasons but its fairly minor in the scheme of political life but it gets him in the papers! -----Original Message----- From: Steve Gillen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2007 8:58 AM To: Matthew Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Alec McQueen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; [email protected] Subject: RE: [LU] Councils Ah... That may be so, but in the case of Farsley Celtic he has more of a reason - he is the elected councillor for Farsley & Calverley and so has a right, nay, Duty to inquire as to what works are undertaken and the impact upon the local community.

"We expect that whatever development which may or may not take place at Elland Road - and they must first of all go through the planning process - would be folly if it did not compliment the council's plans." Yes, it must go through the council planning process, but what the hell has it got to do with the council whether it fits in with their plans? The council planning process will have clear rules as to what is allowed and what is not, and that should be that. After complying with the rules, what Uncle Ken builds is and should be none of the council's business. Grrrrrrr.......
