WF3 Wombles

April 10, 2021by BethNo Comments

The Wombles have always been tidy folk, clearing up after others, now we have our own set of Wombles in this area!

The Leeds WF3 Wombles!

Maybe while out, you have seen lots of purple or white rubbish bags next to public litter bins and wonder who has been clearing up, or you maybe are wondering how you can get involved.

The WF3 Wombles are a group of like minded people who are keeping every thing nice, if you would like to get involved you can! https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedswf3wombles/

They have a face book page when you can log number of bags and masks. If you need bags they are available at the one stop shop and the Hare and Hounds

Stay safe and please follow Covid guidance whilst out and about.

Play safe

March 25, 2021by BethNo Comments
There have been some concerns raised by residents who live near Hilltop school and school themselves regarding a large group of approx 20 children who have been congregating around hilltop top school car park on evenings and weekends.
Please do not take this as a moaning about children post!
Children need to be able to socialise and play and so they should after the year we’ve all had!
Please can you remind your children that the car park is not a terribly safe place to play football
Bad language can cause distress to some of our residents especially those who may be a little older ( and its not impressing anyone!) 😉
Fences are not goals and damage can be caused which then costs to repair
And of course don’t forget to socially distance! Covid is still very real
There is s community field behind the school which can be used and is much safer away from cars and glass, as long as this area is kept damage free it will be open after 6pm 😊
We are not moaning but trying to find solutions 😊

Local trees

March 25, 2021by BethNo Comments

Sadly in the last week there has been some damage caused to local trees in West Ardsley in two separate incidents.

A live tree in Haighwood was burnt and a tree behind Hilltop School on community land was deliberately cut. this is criminal damage on both counts 🙁

The community try very hard to look after our environment, please help us to do this, the local councillors are aware of the incidents

 

thanks

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…

@Redrow Frustration is not the word. The community has fought this application for 4 years and 3,500 people objected. This is token consultation at best. The plans are ready to be submitted. This is poor form and does not show the community any respect
