Recently proposals to build a large shopping centre, Coppergate II, were finally thrown out. The UK Government and the Planning Inspectorate agree that the Coppergate II shopping mall should not go ahead next to the scheduled ancient monument of Clifford's Tower. The Inspector heavily criticised the Land Securities scheme as over-development and being inappropriate for this highly sensitive area. The Inspector also criticised the inconsistencies in “the Council’s long and relentless drive to secure development there.” The Inspector's report was damning!

The Castle Area Campaign  http://www.yorkcastle.com/ which had been opposing the plans used a march through the centre of the city to celebrate the success.

The march had been organised, and populated by "Without Walls"  http://www.yorkwow.org.uk/ a "local strategic partnership" of the council, business and voluntary organisations. The Castle Area Campaign made up half the march, with members of other without walls organisations making up the rest.

Strange really a council organised march.

At the front of the march members of the York Youth Parliament  http://www.yorkyp.co.uk/ in their url branded t-shirts called for the minimum wage to be paid to _all_ now.
