Last week was an extremely busy one and included:
Middleton Park Bonfire Campaign
Lots of activity around our campaign to reinstate the Middleton Park
bonfire and fireworks - axed by the Tory/Lib Dem alliance that runs
Leeds City Council. Activity included:
> Setting up the
www.stopthecuts.co.uk website
> Responding to Councillor John Proctor's complaints about the
stopthecuts website. If he spent as much time on trying to reinstate
the bonfire as he did on trying to stop the campaign, then we might
actually get our bonfire and fireworks back
> Meeting with the director and the assistant director of Leisure Services to discuss the bonfire
> Photo-call and receiving the petition from some members of the Friends of Middleton Park
> Liaison with the fire brigade
> Liaison with the Sissons Tenants and Residents Association
Other activity last week included:
> Meeting with the south area manager to discuss funding issues for
several local facilities in Belle Isle and Middleton. Also talked about
provision for young people.
> Another meeting of the Friends of Middleton Park, this one attended by the director of Leisure Services
> Thriving Communities Scrutiny Board
> Inner South Area Committee meeting at Manorfield Hall in my ward
> Meeting with leisure officers to discuss Middleton Sports and Leisure Centre
