  • How to Find Welcome to Yorkshire (PDF Version)
    HOW TO FIND US At Welcome to Yorkshire, we encourage our staff and visitors to walk, cycle and use public transport where possible, as part of a healthy lifestyle and our commitment to reducing our environmental impact. Welcome to Yorkshire is located approximately 700 metres from Leeds railway station, within the Holbeck Urban Village redevelopment - see map below or http://maps.google.co.uk/ Please note our postcode is not showing the correct location on Google Maps and similar applications – use LS11 5QN for our approximate location off Water Lane. On foot The flat walk from Leeds Railway Station along wide pavements takes 7-12 minutes. 1. Leave the Railway Station via the double doors, with the Journeys Friend and Paperchase shops on your left (Exit 1 City Centre). 2. Cross over the road using the pedestrian crossing and enter the round stairway leading from the station to Neville Street. 3. Go down the steps and at the bottom turn sharp right, to pass through the Neville Street Tunnel. 4. Walk past the Hilton Hotel, go over Victoria Bridge and take the next right into Water Lane, just before the Bridgewater Place skyscraper. Keep following this road for approximately 200m. 5. Just after Water Lane forks left, you’ll pass the Midnight Bell pub on the left. Turn left through the archway next to the pub into Foundry Square and we are located on the right hand side. To avoid the stairs, on leaving the station turn left and follow New Station Street until reaching the pedestrian crossing. Cross the road at the crossing and turn right into Bishopgate Street.

  • This Meanwood Valley Walk Download
    An introduction to the The Meanwood Valley has long been celebrated as a ‘green artery’ in Leeds, bringing rural countryside into the heart of the city. In this green corridor is a rich mosaic of habitats, including woodland, lowland heath, meadow, watercourses and ponds. Though much of the valley is readily accessible from local urban areas, it provides an excellent opportunity to experience and enjoy wildlife in often seemingly-remote surroundings. The valley is centred on two watercourses, the topmost being Adel Beck which rises in Bramhope, but which gives way to Meanwood Beck just south of the Outer Ring Road. The becks are home to fish, such as stone loach and bullhead, as well as the native white-clawed crayfish, which is sadly now threatened. Keep your eyes open when walking near the becks and you may be lucky to spot one of our resident kingfishers or otters. Where the becks flow between boulders and within the woodland, the cool, moist conditions provide the perfect habitat for ferns, liverworts and mosses. In contrast, the poor, free-drain - ing soils and open and exposed conditions at Adel Moor are ideal for heather and if you’re particularly lucky, you may spot the com - mon lizards which live here. Small ponds along the valley are also the breeding grounds of frogs, toads and newts, including the protected great crested newt. The woodlands that cover much of the green space in the valley provide wonderful scenes of carpets of ground flora in spring and rich colours in the autumn. Mammals such as roe deer, stoats and several species of bats make the woodland their home, together with a wide variety of bird species, from house sparrows and long-tailed tits to jays, red kites and all three native woodpecker – the great spotted, lesser spotted and green woodpecker.

  • Leeds Liberal Democrats 10/1/17
    Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England proposals for new electoral arrangements for Leeds City Council This is the Leeds Liberal Democrat response to the Draft Recommendations of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England for New electoral arrangements for Leeds City Council As we indicated in our original response, we support the general thrust and approach of the official Leeds City Council submission (which in very large part has been adopted in these draft recommendations). Most of the existing wards which were first contested in 2004 remain viable and meet the criteria of electoral equality, community identity and effective local government. Similarly, the draft recommendations produce wards which fall within the +/- 10% tolerance allowed for in the statutory guidance, and for the most part support community identity and effective local government. We would argue that this is not the case in respect of three proposed wards: Little London and Woodhouse Hunslet and Riverside Beeston and Holbeck We would therefore like to propose a number of amendments to these proposals. 1) The Boundary between the proposed Little London and Woodhouse Ward and Hunslet and Riverside ward. Leeds City Council’s proposal (which has been adopted by in the draft recommendations), proposes a boundary between these two wards comprising the railway line, Wellington Street and Boar Lane. The Council provided the following argument/evidence to justify arrangements for the city centre “There is a band formed of the office, retail, market and quarry hill that aren't as heavily residential as the north and south so there is a natural split between Whitehall Road / the Calls and Leeds (Clarence) Dock and the Park Square / North Street and more student flats around the arena in the north.
