Tingley LDF meeting

Over 7000 new homes for Morley?

I attended a good public meeting in Tingley last Monday arranged by local residents concerned about development of Greenfield sites off Westerton Road. Residents packed the British Oak in Tingley to raise their concerns about the impact on local schools, health centres and roads. They confirmed that local parents had received a letter from their local primary school who has confirmed that they school was full and there was no potential for expansion.


Residents were rightly fired up about this proposal and were critical of Ardsley and Robin Hood Labour councillors who had not involved the community on these issues. Readers will realise that the site specific document - which props up Labours LDF plan for 74,000 houses across Leeds - confirms where the housing will go.

It is clear that Labour - including our very own solitary Labour councillor Neil Dawson - backs these unrealistic and unsustainable proposals for over 7000 new homes across Morley increasing the size of Morley of about 50%!  It is equally as clear that local communities oppose them with the same passion!

We continue with our battle against the LDF and take it to the full City Council meeting on Monday. Our job is to unite communities across the wider Morley area in our campaign against the LDF.

No surrender!
