  • Alwoodley Parish – Application For
    ALWOODLEY PARISH COUNCIL APPLICATION FOR DESIGNATION OF A NEIGHBOURHOOD AREA Prepared on behalf of Alwoodley Parish Council 5 November 2013 Introduction Alwoodley, for the purposes of this application, is a civil parish created in 2008 within the City of Leeds. Some of the adjacent areas are commonly referred to as being in Alwoodley but do not form part of the civil parish. It lies some 5 miles north of the city centre on the northern edge of the West Yorkshire conurbation. The parish is on a ridge between the valleys of the River Aire and River Wharfe. It is bounded by the suburbs of Adel and Bramhope to the west, Harrogate Road to the east, Moor Allerton to the south and Harewood parish to the north. The northern part of the parish is mixed farmland in the Green Belt in which Eccup Reservoir is situated. To the north of the parish is the Harewood Estate. Moortown and Sandmoor golf courses lie within the parish together with part of Headingley golf course. There are several sports fields. The site of a Roman road crosses the parish from West to East, from Ilkley to Tadcaster, close to Alwoodley Lane. Alwoodley Old Hall stood adjacent to the site of Eccup Reservoir in the present grounds of Sandmoor Golf Club. Built in the 17th century it was demolished in 1969. Early on the 20th century Alwoodley became a leisure destination for Leeds inhabitants; before that it was an isolated agricultural community. Much of the suburban area was developed between 1920 and 1980 . Leeds Country Way and two long distance footpaths, the Dales Way and the Ebor Way, cross or lie on the edge of the parish.

Can you also tell me the number of prosecutions there have been for the above offences and how many of those resulted in a conviction? Please see the attached document. West Yorkshire Police receive reports of crimes that have occurred following a victim having their drink spiked, crimes such as rape, sexual assault, violence with or without injury and theft. West Yorkshire Police take all offences seriously and will ensure that all reports are investigated. Specifically for victims of rape and serious sexual offences, depending on when the offence occurred, they would be offered an examination at our Sexual Assault Referral Centre, where forensic samples, including a blood sample for toxicology can be taken, with the victim’s consent, if within the timeframes and guidance from the Faculty for Forensic and Legal Medicine. West Yorkshire Police work with support agencies to ensure that all victims of crime are offered support through the criminal justice process, including specialist support such as from Independent Sexual Violence Advisors.

  • Harehills LCP.Pdf
    LCP public health profile Harehills LCP.pdf Harehills LCP Health and Wellbeing profile 2018 Over 90% of the Harehills LCP population are living in the most deprived fifth of Leeds, the age structure is quite different to Leeds with far more young children and fewer elderly patients. Ethnicity recording by GPs has been improving steadily; fewer patients have no ethnicity record and accuracy is improving. ‘White Background’ dominates the Leeds population and is increasing more quickly than any other ethnic category. ‘Asian background’ is the next fastest rising category. The population of this LCP has seen a very large increase in the proportion of patients aged 0-9 years old, while the least deprived LCP populations have seen much lower increases. The elderly population of Beeston has barely changed, but most LCPs have seen larger rises – especially those with the least deprivation. Asthma in children is the lowest rate in the city. Child obesity though is usually among the highest prevalence in Leeds for both Reception and Year 6 classes. Smoking in LCP populations is very strongly linked to deprivation but the good news is the most deprived LCPs that have the highest rates are showing slightly faster declines than the least deprived – smoking cessation efforts are focussed in deprived parts of the city. Smoking rates for this LCP are among the highest in the city, however they are falling steadily and possibly at a faster rate than least deprived LCPs. Almost a third of smokers in Harehills are aged between 30 and 39, the next largest group is 20 to 29 year olds.
