Glen Road parking improvement plan

Proposals to improve the parking problems on the Glen Estate in Morley have been welcomed by Cllr Judith Elliott. The plan – which will bring additional parking bays on Glen Road – follows concerns raised by councillors and residents.

Cllr Judith Elliott said “Parking has been a problem on Glen Road for many years and means people have often parked on the verges which makes them unsightly. This proposal is very welcome and will improve the parking for residents and reduce the damage of green verges on the Glen Estate.”

Leeds City Council leader visits Morley

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.
