Planning meeting link click here

Just to inform the people in our community, that the chief planning officer at Leeds City Council is advising the planning panel to reconsider the decision made in January by the panel.

If you are concerned about the council ignoring and over turning this democratic process, please contact your local councillor.

The next meeting is to be held behind closed Zoom doors on 21st May 2020

Many residents and objectors have received letters from the Head of development management, Mr Jonathan Carr, stating “no new significant information has been produced raising new material planning considerations” THIS IS NOT THE CASE

The new information can be found on the Leeds city council planning portal

I know how important the green spaces we have, have been these last 7 weeks, lets fight to keep them.

Baghill Road is scheduled to be “surface dressed” and will be closed to all through traffic 6th and 7th May 2020 (weather permitting)

Due to the covid19 pandemic, there have been some changes to our council refuse services.  

Green and black bins are being emptied as normal, please put your bins out the night before the collection day.

Brown bins (garden waste) Are NOT currently being emptied

Tidy tips are closed

Public waste bins are NOT being emptied, we know its a bind but please take your rubbish home with you especially dog poop bags, the weather has been warm and the bins are now smelling!

Bottle banks can still be used around the area, please keep the areas around them tidy and take boxes and bags home with you.      

We know how difficult it has been the last month for small local businesses due to the Covid-19 pandemic and to help we are offering all local businesses an opportunity to advertise on this site for a small charge.

This in turn helps this website to keep going.

For the months of April and May 2020 we are offering advertising on our new Local Business Directory  for a small fee of £5 for 4 months or £10 for 12 months – your business will be listed with your logo (if you have one) and a small description of the service you offer.

Each business who takes up this offer will also have their logo on a posting on the main section of the site.

So if you are local to Ardsley or Tingley and are interested, please do contact us by filling in the contact us form.

All monies raised this way will go back into this website and West Ardsley Action group. Please note we are unable to accommodate large businesses at this time.

Yorkshire Water have now made the decision to close Ardsley Reservoir

Please do not visit

The government direction is clear – do not drive to exercise- despite this and the fact Yorkshire water have blocked the car park, every day numerous cars are still arriving at the reservoir and are blocking the lane to the reservoir, which is an access road to residents and also Haighmoor Rd is being blocked, effecting residents and other road users including buses.

Please be sensible – please be safe

Tingley Methodist Church has now closed temporarily closed due to the viral outbreak, this includes all groups and Sunday services.

St Mary’s Church playgroup has now closed for the time being
