Peaceful scene of cows in the meadow ! This is a bit of Wills Gill, an approved site for housing in the Site Allocation Plan which is now ratified.

For completeness I should have said that Aireborough Neighbourhood Development Forum is mounting a legal challenge to the inclusion of Aireborough’s Green Belt sites in the SAP.

There are increasing problems with parking of non-resident cars in the lower Tranmere roads. I am trying to do something to ease the situation. No promises but if something can be done I will do it.

I have been reallylooking forward to Strictly starting again and what have we ? Sub-titles way behind the action. BBC ought to be able to do much better.

Now who’s the dummy ? Turns out grandson was faffing with the handset and turned on subtitles. Sorry BBC.

A good turn out for Guiseley Cemetery’s Heritage Open Day. An Interesting tour whetted the appetite to learn more of the history and the people. Very well done Friends of Guiseley. Cemetery.

Last night Irene Willis’ Concert at Prince Henry’s raised big money for “Battleback” helping wounded servicemen/women back to fitness The Band of the RAF College played big band, military and show music to an audience including Chelsea Pensioners and Gurkha Soldiers. Great night

Her is a link to the Neighbourhood Forum’s very informative post on the potential development on Wills Gill. This is not yet lodged with Planning but it will be very shortly and you need to be aware. Please take the opportunity to comment aireboroughnf.wordpress.com/2019/10/11/vie…

Last night the Rotary Brass Band Concert at Yeadon Town Hall was probably the best of the many I have attended. The playing was superb and Frank Renton was on top form.

I was delighted to be able to use Mice Money to help fund this Little Free Library . The project was the idea of Sian Cartwright pictured here at the launch yesterday.

Guiseley & Rawdon Ward Councillors Pat & Graham Latty & Paul Wadsworth will be laying a wreath in the Comemirative Garden, Kirk Lane Park at noon on Monday next the 11 November. No fuss, just a simple laying and everyone welcome to join us.

Beautifully poppy decorated trees close to our Nunroyd Commemorative Garden where Pat laid a wreath on behalf of the three of us this morning.

Today Pat, Paul and I succeeded in getting agreement for the grossly overlong refurbishment of the Aireborough Leisure Centre to be subjected to a Scrutiny inquiry We asked for it to cover procurement, project management and public information.

Cllr Pat Latty, Children’s Champion’s Schools Summit was held today at Civic Hall. Approx 100 children from schools across NW Leeds attended. Benton Park & Westfield pupils enjoying lunch in the Rose Bowl below.

I have today had a response from Network Rail that they now have the funding and will deal with the Station Road lake during this summer. Their intention is to upgrade the drainage system. Lets cross our fingers and hope for a positive result.

In advance of that our team will be planning to clean the road in the next few weeks to address the build up of debris on the road. In the short term I hope that this makes the condition of the road a bit better. This is part of the letter (which was too big to print.)

For whole Network rail letter see my Facebook page.
