Aireborough Civic Society has its next Community Meeting, on 29th July, Next Tuesday 7.30pm at Rawdon Library (the library Aireborough Civic Society helped save from closure in 2012!).
New members and observers are especially welcome as we continue with the vision of ‘Making Aireborough a better place to live’. Aireborough Civic Society has been doing just that for over 50 years – it was set up in 1972.
This is our third community meeting of the year. We shall be discussing improving our local parks and green spaces. A representative from Leeds City Council Parks Department will be present as well as some of our local councillors. They will be reporting on other local issues.
We shall also be looking at the very important next Local Plan for Leeds as the consultation has started and continues until September 15th.
The Leeds Local Plan is a set of documents outlining planning policies that guide development in the Leeds district, including the amount and location of housing, industry, and services. It is a legal framework aiming for sustainable growth and development, and is reviewed every five years. Currently, Leeds City Council is consulting on a new Local Plan, covering the period 2022-2042, with a consultation period running until September 15, 2025.
The previous plan almost led to house building on 4 important Green Belt sites, and failed to deal with our congestion issues, so it is important that the Civic Society and as many residents as possible are involved.
