Public Meeting Tuesday 18th June at 7pm Morley Town Hall

LDF plan exposed by the Morley Ob

You may remember our campaign to oppose the plans from Leeds City Council for over 7000 new houses for the wider Morley area. We opposed this proposal as we believe local roads cannot take the additional traffic generated, local schools are full and cannot take additional pupils, local health centres would not be able to cope and we would loose large numbers of Greenfield sites across the wider Morley area.

We also opposed this plan as Leeds City Council has already granted planning permission for 22,000 new houses on mainly brownfield sites across the Leeds City Council area. Fewer than 2000 new homes were built over the last year across Leeds and we see no reason for releasing Morley Greenfield sites until all of these present planning permissions are used up.

Labour Leeds City Council has agreed a massive 74,000 new homes in their LDF plan. We were the only political group on the council to oppose this plan. Labours new site specific document shows the proposed location for the 7,000 + new houses Labour Leeds City Council has imposed on Morley – which includes Greenfield sites in Morley, Drighlington, Gildersome and particularly East and West Ardsley.

We want residents to attend our public meeting on Tuesday 18th June at 7pm at Morley Town Hall so we can hear their views on these plans.

I hope as many residents as possible will be able to attend.
