Woodland Walk

Woodland Walk

Andrea Jenkyns supporting her constituants

On Saturday 12th May the sun came out and the people of West Ardsley, joined by Andrea Jenkyns once again showed solidarity against the unstainable development of 299 houses in the fields surrounding Haigh Woods. Taking time to enjoy the beautiful bluebells that grow in the area local residents came out in force to enjoy the sunshine and cakes from a bake sale held in the middle of the woods.

The original deadline for comments and objections, of 16th March 2018 has been extended to July 2018, until the outcome of the site allocation plan (SAP) is known. With this is mind WAAG are still campaigning and urging people who have not yet objected to do so to further strengthen the 2,400 objections that have already been delivered to Leeds city council planning offices.

The bake sale raised an amazing Β£130 and WAAG would like to say a huge thank you to those who donated and cooked. These monies will go towards campaign posters and literature.

Putting politics aside

West Ardsley Community Online!

May 13, 2018by WAAGNo Comments

Today, the West Ardsley Action Group (WAAG!) have taken the bold step of purchasing a domain name for the village of West Ardsley and creating the West Ardsley community website.

We would like these pages to be about our community, for the community, giving you all the information and more at your fingertips. In the coming weeks we will be sharing news, campaigns, recommendations and things to do in our village.

Recently, some of the community have been fighting plans for a housing development in one of our green spaces. The message we have heard time and time again from this is how it feels like everyone is coming together and how it is fantastic to share in a like-minded community once again.

We don’t want this to come to an end, hence our mission to launch WestArdsley.co.uk

WAAG have also been working hard with residents to look at other issues affecting us all – such as bins and yes, dog poo (!), alongside other issues such as poor parking, etc.

WAAG will be featuring additional content to WestArdsley.co.uk on a regular basis in the coming months, so please do visit us often!

Reservoir Litter Picking!

May 1, 2018by WAAGNo Comments

On the 25th February 2018, a group of volunteers, spurred on by a local resident, marched to Ardsley Reservoir to demonstrate against the currently planned 299 housing development in the West Ardsley area. During the event, over 100 more objection letters were signed.

Afterwards the group helped to pick up litter around Ardsley Reservoir! The skip, kindly provided by Leeds City Council was soon filled to the brim with rubbish (amongst normal rubbish items placed in the skip, tyres, children’s toys and animal bones were found) – a great success!

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.

@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.

I thought I’d share this again. The legal agreement for haigh wood development just posted on planning portal has made the reality hit hard. Our beautiful green space. Our green lung. Gone forever to join the urban sprawl. Shame on you @LeedsCC_News

This is what we will lose. It’s heartbreaking and it will be gone forever. Decision day on 30th Jan 2020 by Leeds City Plans Panel. Recommended by planning despite 3000 objections for the unsustainable development! #savehaighwoods 3
