GOOLE has officially entered a bid to become a city as part of celebrations for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
One town in England will be granted city status in 2012 to mark the jubilee.
There is no official benefit to being named a city and the East Yorkshire town joins Middlesbrough, Dudley and Gateshead on the list of applicants.
