WINNER

West Ardsley Action Group

‘The West Ardsley Action Group have worked incredibly hard on the campaign against the development on the site of Haigh Woods volunteering many hours to this cause and undertaken extensive research, reviewed many, many documents and liaised with planning officials.’

The West Ardsley Action Group also get involved with many initiatives and projects across the community.

Rowlands Pharmacy

‘The whole team at Rowlands have worked under extreme pressure, they have been busier than ever at the same time as being short staffed. Each team member has gone above and beyond in difficult conditions.’

 The staff at Rowlands have all worked beyond their hours and stayed late, worked their lunch all under increased pressure. “

Further planning update

January 6, 2021by WAAGNo Comments

Update on WAAGS request to be consulted on the Haigh Wood Development!

WAAG have received the following response in an emailed letter from LCC Head of Planning.

 

The local community will be consulted by the Local Planning Authority in due course should  any future Reserved Matters applications are submitted.  This consultation is a requirement for all applications within the General Development Procedure Order 2015. Furthermore, the NPPF states the importance of pre-application discussions with the Local Planning Authority and it would be expected, and certainly will be encouraged by the council, that before any Reserved Matters applications are submitted, meaningful pre-application discussions are held. At this point the importance of consultation and engagement  with yourselves  will  be emphasised  to the applicant; again this is  considered to be good practice.

 

WAAG await further information and trust we will be contacted.

Kind regards

WAAG

Letter to the Cllrs

December 18, 2020by WAAGNo Comments

Dear Councillors

I trust you and your nearest and dearest are all well.

I refer to my previous email of 8th November herewith.  Sent on behalf of West Ardsley Action Group to David Feeney, copied to the above recipients and disseminated to the local community via West Ardsley Web site and email listing.

7 + weeks have elapsed and i have received no reply of any kind in response to this communication. It can only be assumed that LCC  and their Planning Personnel are intent on ignoring our request to be included in the consultation process. Are they working hand in hand with the Developers, as they did during the period between the original refusal by Plans Panel, in effect leading to the subsequent overturning of the original decision.

Is the policy of  LCC to continue to ignore local residents. And, despite our request to participate, in a “ Spirit of Cooperation “ to preclude WAAG from any further involvement in this  process.

It was noted at the original Plans Panel meeting that the community received the support of your good selves to refuse the application.  We are now asking for your support in eliciting a response to our communication herewith.

Thanks & regards

Peter Cowling

Chair , West Ardsley Action Group

Defibrillator for the British Oak

December 10, 2020by BethNo Comments
WE’VE DONE IT!
Funds have been raised to buy and install a defibrillator in Tingley after a successful joint campaign led by both WF3 Kindness and West Ardsley Action Group.
The campaign started on Sunday 22nd November and the target was set to try and raise enough funds before Christmas to buy a defibrillator to be installed outside the British Oak on Westerton Road.
In just over three weeks the community have come together and tonight the donations reached £1,500 thanks to some amazingly generous donations from members of the community including Nicola Beal, The British Oak and Kaygan Windows and the family of the late Tony Bathie.
The campaign has captured the hearts of many in the community including Mike Robinson who held a raffle of a beautiful aerial view canvas of the village and has since offered a donation of up to £15 from each canvas sold towards the cause.
Dan Frank from WF3 Kindness said: “The response to our campaign has been immense and I’d like to thank everyone for their generosity.
“A special thanks to Camille Leach from WAAG who is amazing, she’s driven this from the start and simply without her support we wouldn’t have achieved the target so quickly. This piece of equipment will undoubtedly save lives, right here in Tingley, every single person that has donated cash, shared the posts or helped with ideas can be very proud”
Camille Leach from West Ardsley Action Group said: “I’m so thankful to everyone who got on board to help us reach target so quickly. I’m proud to live in such a caring community where we look after each other, a community who can always be counted on when the call goes out asking for help”
WF3 Kindness and West Ardsley Action Group will now work together to order the defibrillator and get it installed, early next year.
The pair have already committed to continuing the project to buy another community defibrillator in another location within the village with Dan adding: “We have worked so well together and the appetite from so many in the community is there. We have been contacted by people suggesting locations for our next one so we will stick with it and hopefully announce the next objective soon”.
Members of the community can still donate to the WF3 Kindness charity: https://www.gofundme.com/…/wf3kindness…

Christmas Tree O’ Christmas Tree…

December 10, 2020by BethNo Comments
You wait all year for a tree and then 3 turn up at once!
Aswell as a lovely tree at the Methodist Church we now have a village Christmas tree plus a mini one for the kids
A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO Mr Simon Panther and Mr Dave Whitey
You can find the Trees outside of Hilltop School
West Ardsley Action Group now ask some thing of you-
The small tree needs decorating as does the bush at the front ( next to the big tree) and the railings outside the community centre
Please feel free to place a bauble, you can dedicate it to someone you love, some one you miss or ‘just because’
if you want to write on your bauble to let everyone know why or for who please do or if you wish to stay private you can, there’s no pressure. 😊
Just baubles no tinsel please.
please keep the large tree clear as its already very beautiful
Thanks to Lynda, Camille and Jessica for putting the tree up this afternoon and to our Tree watchers who will keep an eye on it 🎄

How many more green spaces are going to get concreted over in the UK?! This will soon become another statistic. Where’s all the wildlife supposed to go? It’s just all about money; developers can do anything they want as long as they throw enough money at it. The UK is broken.

The area was already wild.....it didn’t need rewilding nor the 1000s tonnes of concrete that replaced the ripped out previous wild ..... we have to stop Government Greenwashing their destruction! #Cop26 #WorldWithoutNature #WorldWildlifeDay https://twitter.com/bearwitness2019/status/1367013426489344000

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/mar/03/hs2-to-rewild-127-hectares-around-its-10-mile-chilterns-tunnel This is absurd! ‘Rewilding or re-wilding, activities are conservation efforts aimed at restoring and PROTECTING natural processes and wilderness areas.‘ #HS2 destroyed the wilderness area first. @HS2ltd greenwash and a cheap way to get rid of the chalk.

Absolutely laughable - pop over to facebook and read the comments under their post there, so many communities fighting LCC to keep their green spaces 😡

Leeds Council News@LeedsCC_News

You might have noticed that our logo looks different today.

Much of our natural world is disappearing or threatened, so to mark #WorldWildlifeDay we’ve taken the nature out of our logo too.

Yes, there was a pretence of democracy, for show only. Over 3,000 cannot be wrong but LCC want it concreted over. You’d think they’d at least put it in reserve rather than first up over brownfield sites it’s just so very sad & very wrong. Gone forever for the sake of greed.

Mary Kilner 🍃💚🍃🐿️🌈@Mary_Kilner

@HaighHelp @LeedsCC_News @LeedsNews @leedslivenews The destruction of this beautiful & important green space for wildlife & the community is a travesty of democracy (3,000 objections). History will judge the Government & Leeds Council harshly for their disregard for nature, the environment and people's wellbeing. Heartbreaking.
