WARD COUNCILLOR

We were pleased to welcome Cllr Matthew Robinson - the new Harewood Ward Councillor - to our meeting. He offered to do all he could to help move some issues forward for us, an example being our aspirations for School Field. He was very interested in our forthcoming MasterPlan and said that other Parish Councils within the Ward were very encouraged to do similar plans by the example of Aberford PC.

PARISH MASTERPLAN 2010
A new page has been added to the website - MasterPlan 2010 - providing links to documents relating to the new MasterPlan for the parish currently being worked on by the Parish Council. If you would like more information contact David Gluck on 0113 2812522 or 07920 562264.

EVENTS AT LOTHERTON HALL

The Estates Manager - Dave Morgan, and the Visitor & Retail Manager, Maria Akers - attended our meeting. A useful discussion covering residents concerns took place and some changes will be made for the future. Forthcoming events will be publicised on this site and Noticeboards if possible together with contact details for residents to use during events.

ITEMS for WETHERBY NEWS NEWSPAPER

We would like to re-establish this link. We will try to give some items to the Wetherby News as another way of reaching residents. The paper would also like to hear from all of the village clubs and societies with items of interest or to publicise events. If you belong to such a club please ask if someone on your Committee would be willing to do this.

This year’s festival is rapidly approaching. Residents are reminded that details of traffic arrangements in the area can be accessed from the Leeds Festival page.

WAR MEMORIAL

We are getting quotes for refurbishment. It won’t be cheap (grants will be sought) but we hope we can carry out the work and will let you know.

POLICE MATTERS

There is a new initiative whereby an Officer will come to Aberford Village Hall on a six weekly timetable and be available for an hour or so to residents of Aberford, Barwick, Thorner, Scholes and Scarcroft. The venue may change after the first four meetings. Dates are 23 July, 3 Sep, 15 Oct & 25 Nov (all Fridays). Please go along if you have any concerns. An area-wide Police Newsletter will be delivered to you within the next week or so.
