A group of like minded individuals met up at the Hare and Hounds on 21st August to get West Ardsley in Bloom going!
We were joined by Richard Gill from Leeds City Council who was there with advice and suggestions of how to get started and we were
also joined by our local elected councillors, Cllr Karen Renshaw and Cllr Ben Garner.
it was a lovely summers evening so we met in the pub garden and we felt quite inspired by the flower displays around us.
A small committee has been formed and we are firstly organsing a walk around the village to see where the in bloom boundaries are going to be located, we must be careful we do not over lap other in Bloom projects in our area, such as Lowry Road or Rein Road.
We are hoping that lots of people get involved, you dont have to be green fingered, together we are sure we can make West Ardsley a blooming fantastic place!
If you have any ideas of where needs some daffs planting or an area that needs sprucing upplease let us know
If you are a business or association who would like to be involved please do contact us by emailing Inbloom@matthew5b7395f6b7-plmdo.wpcomstaging.com
A huge thank you to Marion and her number one helper Diane for arranging, gathering washing and setting up for the free uniform bank which was held on Thursday evening and Friday morning at Tingley Methodist Church. The amount of uniforms being recyled was quite amazing so thank you to the community who donated. The hall looked like a rainbow of red, green and blue! everyone was welcome and there was no charge for any of the pieces.
Hopefully there will be another uniform bank next summer so everyone can benefit, recycle and maybe save a few pence on school uniform
its be very dry recently as we all know and now the reserviour is realy showing the consquences of this heat wave.
lots of intresting banks are appearing from the water line along with quite a few of the old reservoir rocks that were thrown in. Please remind your young people that even though the water level is low, the reservoir is sill not a safe place to swim, this morning we saw a group of pre teens swimming with no adult supervision.
Next Thursday there is going to be a free school uniform bank, for local schools. if you have any outgrown unforms please do donate and “swap” We are looking at it as recycling
there is no charge for the uniforms and if you would like give something them please donate to the church as they are providing the hall free of charge for this community event.
Thursday 9th August at 7pm, there will be red (Hilltop & Blackgate) and green (Westerton) uniforms and a few bits from Woodkirk too, a big thanks to Marion for arranging it and washing all the lost property!
I’m trying to set up a social group for elderly local residents at Tingley Athletic on Friday afternoons for anyone who would like to get together for a cup of tea and a bit of a natter. We’ll provide the tea and biscuits and somewhere warm to meet, 
We’re looking to start the group on Friday 3rd August at 2pm. At the clubhouse, Casson Avenue, Tingley WF3 2EG
If this sounds like it might be up your street or you know someone who might like to come along please message me via Facebook
thanks
*update- this group is starting a gardening club for anyone interested
It has been very warm the last few days and understandably people have wanted to cool off.
Please DO NOT swim in Ardsley Reservoir, it may look calm and still from the surface but the water is cold and there are under currents. Every year young people and adults drown swimming in lakes, reservoirs and rivers during the summer months.
There is plenty of evidence that shows that young people are swimming in the reservoir this week, we have lost count of the number of pants and socks we have found, we have even found some very nice towels! I am sure that some parents must be wondering were all their kids undies are going.
Please watch this video, it is upsetting but it could save a live. Reservoir safety film – one last breath
The reservoir is also used for drinking water.
Please be safe this summer, have a water fight or eat a lolly instead!
Sadly the little library on Haigh Moor Road has been cleared twice in the last fortnight and the books and leaflets have been taken and used as bonfire fuel.
This is very upsetting for the people 
who have worked so hard to set it up for the use of the commnuity.
Last night Friday 22nd June 2018 one of the young lads involved in the latest “book clearance” mistakenly left some person items behind, so if you know of a young person who is missing a rucksack, his house keys and his mobile phone please do contact the police who now have them.
The little library will continue on as before and always welcomes visitors to take a book and leave a book.
You may have noticed reccently that many Leeds City Council signs have appeared on lamposts in our community.
This is to inform residents of the proposed 20 mph roll out on our streets. Everyone now has an opportunity to register comments, these can be postive, negative or suggestions on the plan, please note that the date listed on the posters is incorrect, the correct deadline is 15th July 2018
If you would like to comment the address is Mr RA Hartley, development team, Legal Team, Civic Hall, Leeds, LS1 1UR
