K WAKEFIELD 7. Minutes To receive the minutes in accordance with Council Procedure Rule 2.2(i) 8. White Paper Motion (in the name of Councillor J L Carter) - Gypsy and Traveller Sites in Leeds ‘This Council notes with concern that the ruling administration’s policy of providing more authorised Gypsy and Traveller sites in Leeds is taking place behind closed doors, without affording a chance for public scrutiny or debate in respect of its search for sites. Council is also concerned that the ruling administration is using all its power and influence over Council officers to stop members of the opposition being able to debate site selection openly and in public. 1 Council calls on the administration to publicly release the site names being considered for a Gypsy and Traveller site, which currently amounts to nearly 90 in total. 2 Ensure full and meaningful consultation takes place on any plans to build more Travellers’ sites in Leeds, at each stage of the process; and 3 commits to holding local plebiscites in order to effectively gauge whether local communities near proposed sites are in favour of the proposals. This Council further notes that there is a one party Labour working group who are considering site selection and calls on the ruling administration to stop this undemocratic working practice, on this key issue for residents in Leeds, by ensuring such working groups represent all Members of Council. This Council urges the Government to follow the lead of the Government in the Republic of Ireland in making unauthorised encampments a criminal rather than a civil offence.’ J L CARTER 9. White Paper Motion (in the name of Councillor G Hyde) - Economic Growth in Leeds This Council recognises that local authorities must be empowered to shape and influence local economic growth, and welcomes the initial progress that has been made in Leeds. Council supports ongoing engagement with the Government to secure appropriate devolvement of power and resources, enabling the development of much needed local and regional infrastructure, and delivering economic growth. Council commits to exploring opportunities to work with public, private and voluntary sector organisations, recognising that strong local partnerships will be at the heart of initiatives that drive economic development in Leeds. Council believes this will help ensure a sustainable, long-term future for our city and the delivery of jobs, training and apprenticeships for our residents. G HYDE 10. White Paper Motion (in the name of Councillor Matthews) - Late Night Noise Nuisance This Council believes that late night noise nuisance is a severe blight on the wellbeing of residents in many Leeds communities. This Council believes that the decision of the Executive Member for Environment to stop recording the volume of calls that this service receives demonstrates that the current administration does not view late night noise nuisance as a priority. Given the extreme concern expressed by residents about noise nuisance, this Council requests that the Chief Executive carry out an urgent review of the late night noise nuisance service with recommendations to be put to the Executive Board at a meeting in the near future. J MATTHEWS 11. White Paper Motion (in the name of Councillor Downes) - Council Procedure Rule 3.1(d) - Cities Fit for Cycling This Council believes that cycling is an extremely efficient form of transport which is good for health and the environment. This Council notes with concern that the number of cyclists killed on Britain’s roads rose by 7 per cent between 2009 and 2010 and that a disproportionate number of cycling accidents involve vans and lorries. This Council supports successive Governments’ commitment to encourage the use of bikes and reduce the number of cyclist-related accidents This Council supports The Times’ ‘Cities fit for Cycling’ campaign; and calls on the Chief Executive to write to the Government calling for further action to improve cycling infrastructure and reduce the number of casualties on our roads. R DOWNES 12. White Paper Motion (in the name of Councillor Golton) - Council Procedure Rule 3.1(d) - Gay Quarter This Council recognises the successful regeneration of Leeds city centre over the past 20 years creating a more attractive and safer environment, leading to substantial job creation. This Council particularly notes the emergence of businesses catering for Leeds lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities in the Lower Briggate area. Council believes that recognising this area as the city’s gay quarter will encourage further investment and the creation of jobs as well as creating a tolerant and safe environment for all. This Council therefore supports the campaign to officially recognise this area as the Leeds Gay Quarter and requests that officers bring a report to the Executive Board detailing how this will be achieved.

  • Leeds City Council Site Allocations Plan Examination Matter 7
    Leeds City Council Site Allocations Plan Examination Matter 7: Selection of sites allocated for development – East: Main Issue 1 Main Issue 2 Additional Site Specific Questions Doc No. M7/1c Leeds Local Plan Page 1 of 14 Main Issue 1: For each Housing Market Characteristic Area, are the individual sites selected sound? 1 Are the selected sites justified having regard to the site selection methodology and process, paying particular attention to the deliverability of the allocated sites? 1.1 Yes. The Council’s response to Matter 6 details the overall site assessment and selection process used for allocation of sites in the Plan. The Council considers that this approach is the most appropriate in terms of meeting CS aims and objectives for the MD as a whole and that the selection of sites is justified. This response to Matter 7 sets out how the overall methodology and process has applied in the East HMCA. It highlights the specific characteristics of and evidence relating to East and notes whether there are any specific issues arising. 1.2 Further to paragraph 3.3 of the Submission SAP CD1/1, East has the largest housing target set out within the Core Strategy, a target of 11,400 new dwellings equating to 17% of the overall housing requirement. East is an area of contrasting character areas reflective of its location sandwiched between the Inner area of Leeds and the outer rural areas of the Outer North East, Outer South East and Outer South, most of which is Green Belt. A significant amount of housing within East Leeds is post-war Council-built housing, focused around areas such as Whinmoor, Stanks and Swarcliffe.

  • Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Cookridge Area of Leeds, England
    Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Cookridge Area of Leeds, England S Y Ely, K Fuller, A D Gulson, P M Judd, A J Lowe and J Shaw Occupational Services Department, National Radiological Protection Board, Hospital Lane, Cookridge, Leeds, LS16 6RW, England. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) is an independent body that has responsibility for advising UK government departments and others on the protection of people from ionising and non-ionising radiation (NIR) hazards. NRPB undertakes research into NIR sources and effects, and provides a comprehensive measurement and advisory service. In addition, NRPB receives many thousands of enquiries each year from individuals who are concerned about their exposure to radio waves, particularly those emitted by mobile phone base stations at around 900 and 1800 MHz. This paper describes the response to one such enquiry from a Member of Parliament (MP) representing local community groups and residents, who were concerned about emissions from three large telecommunications installations close to their homes and local schools. A survey of the radio wave exposure in the area around the three installations was carried out, measuring the total exposures due to all radio signals from 30 MHz to 18 GHz, using a variety of antennas connected to a spectrum analyser. The measurement range was chosen to include all the emissions from the local transmitters, including mobile phone base stations, emergency services' radiocommunications, pagers and microwave dishes. Emissions from transmitters further away, such as broadcast television and radio signals, were also detected. The results are compared against the guidelines published by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).

  • Yorkshire Geological Society
    YORKSHIRE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY Cadeby Formation (Upper Permian) of the Boston Spa-Thorp Arch area Leaders Alison Tymon, Doug Holliday and Michael Mawson and members of the Boston Spa and District Geological Research Group and the West Yorkshire Geology Trust Saturday 8th June 2013 INTRODUCTION The Upper Permian Cadeby Formation (formerly Lower Magnesian Limestone) is exposed at numerous localities in the area around Wetherby and Boston Spa. In addition to a plethora of small 18th and 19th century quarries for building stone, there are several large road and abandoned railway cuttings which supplement data from the natural sections in the banks of the River Wharfe. It is surprising, therefore, that there is no detailed published account of the geology of this area and that few of the exposures have been described and studied in detail. The formation is divided into two members (Wetherby and Sprotborough) and both are well exposed in the area. The numerous, well displayed exposures of the Hampole Beds at the base of the Sprotborough Member is one of the more significant features of these localities. The Boston Spa and District Geological Research Group (BADGERS), mainly comprised of local amateur geologists, has been established with the aim of locating, restoring, measuring and describing these sections. They intend to provide for the first time a complete, permanent record for posterity of this great wealth of geological data, while it is still accessible, in order to provide a more complete knowledge and a greater understanding of the geological history of the area. Together with the West Yorkshire Geology Trust, an interpretation board has been installed at a locality in Boston Spa and an explanatory leaflet explaining and illustrating the local geology has been issued.

  • Gipton and Stanks Business Case
    Appendix 7 Gipton and Stanks Fire Station Business Case At a Glance - the Key Points for this Proposal Proposal: The construction of a new fire station to replace Gipton and Stanks fire stations and removal of 24 fulltime posts from the establishment by way of planned retirements. Key Points: Gipton is classed as a very high risk area and Stanks as medium risk area. Stanks fire station is poorly located at the outer edge of the local community and access/egress from the site is problematic. In the 5 year period between 2004/5 and 2009/10 operational demand in these areas reduced by 28% (there has been a reduction of 61% of serious fires) . 2 WYFRS has piloted a new type of vehicle (Fire Response Unit) to deal with smaller fires and incidents to free up fire appliances to respond to more serious emergencies. The pilot has been successful and it is believed that a District based Fire Response Unit will handle in the region of 3,000 calls per year. The new fire station would have lower running costs. The two Killingbeck fire appliances would be supplemented by a Resilience Pump for use during spate conditions. Targeted community safety and risk reduction work would continue. 2 1. Foreword 1.1 This proposal forms one of a number of similar initiatives developed by West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (WYFRS) as part of its plans for the future provision of a highly effective and professional Fire and Rescue Service. 1.2 Each proposal is based on sound and comprehensive research, using real data from past performance and predictions of future demand and risk.
