The Leader of Leeds City Council Cllr Judith Blake and Leeds City Councils Chief Executive Tom Riordan visited Morley on a fact finding trip last Wednesday.
They visited different areas within both Morley Wards including Drighlington, Gildersome, Morley Town Centre and Lewisham Park.
We took the opportunity to lobby for the changes we believe Morley needs. This included getting a better deal for Traders in Morley Town Centre with their business rates; help to get the Pavilion redeveloped and increased support for Morley Neighbourhood Policing Team.
The visitors also looked at several Greenfield sites in Drighlington and Gildersome and we raised our concerns about the impact of development on local roads, schools and health centres.
We lobbied for more support to redevelop and improve Morley Bottoms – especially Brunswick Street – and we were told that this would be explored to see what additional help can be provided.
The visit concluded with a meeting between Councillors, the Police, Chamber of Trade representatives and Leeds Youth Service to discuss future partnerships.
