Those in the Yorkshire area will no doubt know of Dunnies cafe in Otley.Adlington ltd are trying to build a care home on the site of the disused school next door,part of the plans involve demolishing and building on Dunnies.Dunnies has been a cafe since 1925,and usually has plenty of bikers (and cyclists too) making use of it,with full breakfasts at £3.30 and tea at 30p a cup its always busy.
If you wish to object to this planning application the contacts in the info at the cafe are-
general.enquiries@leeds.gov.uk (0113 3760499)

the local mp-

info@gregmulholland.org

local councillor-

ryk.downes@leeds.gov.uk

The company planning this is Adlington ltd,might be worth letting them know what you think,I have!

If enough people complain hopefully Dunnies will remain!

Is it possible to start an epetition. I don't know how to do that but it's a good way of getting lots protests.

Sprint .. I didn't know Dunnies was closing.. maybe that's why Squires feel they can start charging like they are doing?

I hope Dunnies gets a good result.

I've started an e-petition, entitled 'Do not demolish Dunnies Cafe in Otley' on the government site, wasn't sure which department to send it to so I've put it under 'Department for Communities and Local Government' I have to wait til it's checked to make sure it complies with their rules then it will be available for you to sign. here's the place to create, and sign, other HM Government e-petitions http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk

I should have googled it first, it's actually called Wharfe View cafe lol I've been to it, once, but sat outside, seems to be a bit small According to this site it's in NORTH Yorkshire http://fullchatter.com/blog/2011/06/04/north-yorks-dunn...afe-otley/

Em it said 1 signature cos it's a new petition and has only just gone live, I think it should be my signature, not sure if I have to sign it as well as creating it. Nope, I've just looked and it says 2 signatures so my signature went on automatically when I created the petition.

Not sure of current state of play on this one, seems to be a little bit of chat on various sites giving differing stories, so have signed.

A good old cafe, cheap n cheerful and biker friendly so defo worth keeping open.
