JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS

POLICE MATTERS

There has been a big increase over the last year in thefts/burglaries - opportunistic for the most part with property not properly secured. Make sure you lock doors and windows. Be aware that if you are in your garden or another part of the house then you should secure those entrances and access points that are out of sight. Also secure sheds, outhouses, garages, vehicles and report anything out of the order on the 101 number.

BUS SERVICE

Cllr Mrs Broadley had a productive meeting, organised by Ward Cllr Matthew Robinson, with First Bus representatives and Barwick & Scholes Cllrs. First Bus are having their annual review of routes shortly and it is likely that our joint services will revert to their previous separation and our route will no longer run through to the other side of the City. Additionally, the very old buses will be retired - Firstbus are taking delivery of cascaded vehicles that will be released after the Olympics.

We hope to see a substantial improvement in the service when these changes are implemented. Cllr Robinson intends to put out a questionnaire on the subject in the next 2/3 weeks.

NEWS ITEMS

Cllr D Gluck continues to send items of interest to Wetherby News which is going tabloid, and may increase readership. He can be contacted on 0113 2812522 and would appreciate any news you can give him about village clubs and events.

LEEDS FESTIVAL 2012

We have received details from the Leeds Festival organisers of the traffic management system for this year’s festival. Festival dates are 24-26 August but traffic will begin to arrive on Wed 22nd with departure on Mon 29th. Details can also be downloaded by clicking here.

We are paying most of the cost of a Jubilee Celebration mug for all the children at the Village School (the PTA is helping with the cost). September starters and Sunbeams little ones will get one too. We are also paying for food for the Sunbeams party and our Chairman will be presenting the mugs at the school tea party on Thursday 31 May.
