We are in the process of the gate being looked at again by Andy Rowell at Leeds City Council. The bar that you pull accross where the lock sits is difficult to open.

Dear Members
Lawrence and Sue on plot 44N are getting a team in to cut the trees over hanging on their plot. The work will be taking place this Sunday 14th April. Can members not park outside the gate, so the area is clear. The trees will be taken down to fence height. Please can all plot holders be vigilant coming on to site, and leaving site. The trees make there plot too shady. All the work will comply to health and safety regulations.
