We owe an unpayable debt to all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of our country or who have come home forever scared physically or mentally by the horror of war.

🇬🇧 It was an honour to be the launch of the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal in Leeds, at Leeds Civic Hall today, on behalf of residents across Hunslet, Beeston, Leeds City Centre, and the Riverside.

Remembrance Day matters to me greatly.

...recommendation, all being weighted against the legal framework set out by national and local planning policy.

The vote at the end was split, and across party lines, showing that members of the panel, on a finely balanced application, took time to...

🏗️ Today I chaired the South & West Plans Panel, one of the cross city roles I carry out on behalf of the wider council.

Today's application for a McDonald's, in Bramley and Stanningley Ward, was quite a difficult one to determine, with complicated arguments for and against the officer...

...could fill Sarata Sawo's or my litter bag first.

Kidz Klub has been a vital community partner for 25 years, and their work has impacted generations in the area. Long may that continue.

🚮 It was good to join Kidz Klub Leeds on Beeston Hill yesterday for a community litter pick with the children who attend this amazing youth group.

The passion they showed to tidy up the area they live in was really inspiring, and we had a bit of fun seeing whether they...

We picked up some issues around parking and antisocial behaviour and we'll get these passed over to Council offices to see what we can resolve these issues

🗣️ It was good to be on Beeston Hill this afternoon to speak to residents around the Couplands and Brett Gardens with Cllr Mohammed Iqbal and Sarata Sawo.

There is a significant amount of work going on to support care leavers and I'm happy to answer any specific questions.

Care leavers, on average, face worse health outcomes, an over representation in the criminal justice system, employment and much more despite being care leavers making a very small proportion of the public as a whole.

🫂 This morning I attended a cross council equity meeting to talk about how we integrate the decision to make care leavers as a protected characteristic in a Leeds, and deliver that through the services we deliver.

I hope this Diwali filled your home with love, laughter, and endless happiness.

🎇 Belated Happy Diwali to everyone in Hunslet, Beeston, and Leeds City Centre and the Riverside who are celebrating from Cllr Mohammed Iqbal, Sarata Sawo and me - sadly the message didn't go out as timed yesterday!

🚮 It was great to catch-up with Peter and Neil at Hamara Healthy Living Centre to talk about their Mean to Clean campaigns and work.

📑 It has been a busy few weeks and although I try to keep people updated with everything I'm doing, here are a few of the meetings and events I didn't get a chance to mention.

This is all on top of everything else I have posted, doing casework, answering...

📺 fly tipping spoils our communities and is costing the public thousands of pounds to remove, money that could be spent on other things.

...agreed to meet us next week to talk about what they intend to do to resolve the issue.

But we've also been clear, if we do not see an improvement, we reserve the right to the enforcement action which will explicitly ask for magnetic locking systems to be added to the trolley systems in Hunslet.

But as time has gone on, Cllr Mohammed Iqbal, Sarata Sawo and I have received more and more complaints about trolleys being dumped, dumped in, and used for antisocial behaviour.

Today we had a meeting with the manager responsible for trolleys across Morrisons, and they have...

🛒 Dumped Morrison trolleys are yet again becoming a nuisance around the Hunslet Housing Leeds estates.

Several years ago, we issued them with a legal notice, which resulted in the return of coin locks and proactive attempts to remove any abandoned trolley from the estates.

This will be a significant win for the private tenants living in these areas, with many likely to see significant improvement to the safety and conditions of their homes.

The extension to Hunslet is significant, with around a third of former Council properties now in private hands, many now rented out, many of their properties have long gone unchecked.
