The Avenue at City Fields
Wakefield
WF3 4GJ
The City Fields proposals include a neighbourhood centre within a short walk of the homes, with a range of shops including food retailers, restaurants, a medical centre and other services. There is also a small local shopping area on Windhill Road with a pharmacist, a post office and a convenience store, while the city centre offers a very wide choice of high street chains, malls and traditional shops. A major recycling centre on Denby Dale Road, three and a half miles away, accepts virtually all household packaging, electrical items and clothing. An area within the wider City Fields neighbourhood, close to Wakefield City Academy, has been set aside for educational provision. However, there is also a choice of established primary schools within walking distance, from where pupils normally move on to either Outwood Grange Academy or St Thomas à Becket RC College for secondary education. There is a large fulltime GP practice at New Southgate Surgery, approximately a mile and a half away, and Pinderfields General Hospital, around a mile from The Avenue, operates a round the clock A&E department.
