The proposal has been met with strong opposition from local residents
Wakefield council has been accused of 'bullying tactics' after plans to build a new traveller site were approved.
A letter from HRA states: “Heath Residents Association is calling on anyone who has ever enjoyed the Heath to join it in resisting the bullying tactics of this local authority to destroy the Heath – one of the jewels in Wakefield’s crown – and thus reduce the opportunities for people from across the region and beyond to enjoy this clean, green, open space for their own mental health and well-being.
“In our small parish we already have a number of private sites and the official Wakefield site, we feel we are now being bullied into yet another site that removes common land and historic landmarks relevant to this area.”
