I’m very pleased to hear that Wakefield Council have announced they will extend the lease for the Squires Tea Room at the Anglers Country Park.

The full credit should go to the many people who wrote, emailed and protested against the closure of this facility. Having spoken to many of my constituents, I appreciate how strongly the community feel about the Tea Rooms and it is their passionate campaign that contributed greatly towards its continuation.

I understand that Wakefield Council will be working with Mr Davey, at the Tea Rooms, to develop plans to further improve the country park for all users.  Hopefully this fantastic community attraction will only continue to grow in popularity going forward.
