Introduction by Chief Fire Officer/Chief Executive Simon Pilling MA, MSc, DMS, GIFireE It gives me great pleasure to introduce this Station Action Plan for 2008/11. Station personnel have an important role in delivering the strategic priorities of the Authority and this Action Plan details how the station will contribute towards these. Every member of the station has a role to play in meeting these priorities and this plan outlines the station objectives which contribute towards the overall performance and improvement of the service in carrying out its duties within the community. The Authority’s strategic priorities, functional and team objectives are clearly shown in the appendices along with the ‘golden thread’ of how each individual objective relates to the priority/objective above and ultimately to the overall Ambition and Aim of the Authority, along with how that aim contributes to the wider priorities set for the Leeds District in the Local Area Agreement. • Ambition: Making West Yorkshire Safer • Aim: Provide an excellent Fire and Rescue Service working in partnership to reduce death, injury, economic loss and contribute to community well being The Station Action Plan provides station personnel with the basis for their work during 2008/11 and allows them to assess their performance against each priority/objective. The Authority’s Performance Management Framework and the Performance Information Management System (PIMS), which is available on the Intranet, allows each individual station to track their own performance and also the performance of all stations within West Yorkshire, thereby facilitating the sharing of good practice throughout the Authority. Performance against the Action Plan is regularly monitored by each functional group to ensure that we progress towards our Ambition of ‘Making West Yorkshire Safer’. Page 3 of 26 Moortown Station Action Plan 2. Introduction by Leeds District Manager Mick Smith The safety of the Leeds community from the potentially devastating impact of fire, whether as a result of an accident or deliberate attack, is the priority and key focus of all the fire service personnel within the district. I am both proud and pleased to head a team which views service delivery with such importance. The Service is now a key player alongside all the other partners working across Leeds to improve the quality of life and safety of the district’s residents. Our contribution to the Leeds Strategic Plan, the Crime & Disorder Reduction Partnership and the Leeds Local Area Agreement is comprehensive. Our key objective is to reduce the high level of deliberate fires which occur across the district and reduce the number of accidental dwelling fires. To achieve this reduction we are working closely with the three Police Divisions and their respective Neighbourhood Policing Teams, local councillors, housing officers and other agencies to make Leeds a safer place to live. However, despite all this proactive work there will be times when our personnel will need to intervene when a fire has occurred. Being prepared and ready to deal with these incidents whatever the type, is our dual priority alongside our prevention work. All the firefighters within the Leeds District and across West Yorkshire regularly train and prepare for such incidents, through local operational intelligence gathering they work to understand the key risks from fire they may be called on to deal with across the district. To ensure we meet the continued high standards expected of the service we have developed a performance management system, which sets both local responsibility and accountability through a series of action plans. I am pleased to present the Leeds District action plan which will act as our direction and guide to ensuring an effective Fire and Rescue service across the district, one that achieves our local ambition of a “Safer Leeds“. 3. Introduction by Station Manager Richard Gomersall Here at Moortown we are committed to improving the service we provide to the local community and the people of West Yorkshire. It is my belief that we can enhance that service with continued training, improved communications and better interagency co-ordination. We need to encourage co-operation between the key partners who work with us to make West Yorkshire safer. We have introduced training sessions with our partners in other agencies and we meet on a regular basis with the Neighbourhood Policing Teams. These partners assist us by identifying people at risk and providing referrals, they also help by providing assistance to vulnerable members of society in our area. We will continue to engage in community activity and attend neighbourhood forums, anticrime partnership meetings and local projects. Page 4 of 26 Moortown Station Action Plan 4. Overview of Performance 4.1 Demographics The station area covers the north eastern part of Leeds, which includes the mainly residential locations of Chapeltown, Harewood, Roundhay, Meanwood, Chapel Allerton, Moortown and Alwoodley.

As can be seen, the general trend is downward. This station plan will attempt to address areas of under performance whilst maintaining this downward trend. Particular areas of concern are: - • False alarms due to automated apparatus (Domestic) • Special service calls • Primary fires in sheltered housing These will be tackled by existing and future educational initiatives outlined in the station priorities.

  • Loud Proud Passion and Politics in the English Defence League Makes Us Confront the Complexities of Anti-Islamist/Anti-Muslim Fervor
    New Ethnographies ‘These voices of English nationalism make for difficult listening. The great strength of Hilary PILKINGTON Pilkington’s unflinching ethnography is her capacity to confound and challenge our political and preconceptions and makes us think harder. This is an important, difficult and brave book.’ Les Back, Professor of Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London ‘Pilkington offers fresh and crucial insights into the politics of fear. Her unflinchingly honest depiction of the EDL breaks apart stereotypes of rightist activists as simply dupes, thugs, and racists and Loud proud PASSION AND POLITICS IN THE ENGLISH DEFENCE LEAGUE makes us confront the complexities of anti-Islamist/anti-Muslim fervor. This terrific, compelling book is a must-read for scholars and readers concerned about the global rise of populist movements on the right.’ Kathleen Blee, Distinguished Professor of Sociology, University of Pittsburgh Loud and proud uses interviews, informal conversations and extended observation at English Defence League events to critically reflect on the gap between the movement’s public image and activists’ own understandings of it. It details how activists construct the EDL and themselves as ‘not racist, not violent, just no longer silent’ through, among other things, the exclusion of Muslims as a possible object of racism on the grounds that they are a religiously not racially defined Loud group. In contrast, activists perceive themselves to be ‘second-class citizens’, disadvantaged and discriminated against by a two-tier justice system that privileges the rights of others. This failure to recognise themselves as a privileged white majority explains why ostensibly intimidating EDL street demonstrations marked by racist chanting and nationalistic flag waving are understood by activists as standing ‘loud and proud’; the only way of being heard in a political system governed by a politics of silencing.

  • Tackling the Holiday Hunger, Holiday Inactivity and Holiday Isolation Faced by Some of the Poorest Children in Leeds, and Often Their Families, Too
    About Healthy Holidays Healthy Holidays is now in its third year – tackling the holiday hunger, holiday inactivity and holiday isolation faced by some of the poorest children in Leeds, and often their families, too. Leeds Community Foundation delivers this programme with support from Leeds City Council, and from local food partners FareShare Yorkshire and Rethink Food. In 2019, Leeds Healthy Holidays reached 5,441 young people and 903 parents/carers through 77 community-based partners delivering a range of fun and engaging activities, all of which included at least one nutritious meal. Healthy Holidays 2020 – Covid Response In the face of Covid-19 crisis, Leeds Community Foundation (LCF) and Leeds City Council have been actively working with food provision charities and local community organisations on an Emergency Food Provision Process to deliver much-needed food and support to these vulnerable children, their families and other vulnerable adults. As an immediate response to lockdown, LCF funded 31 community organisations to provide “Healthy Holidays Covid-19 Response” projects; these have generally provided food parcels alongside a combination of online activities and activity boxes delivered to the doorstep. Activities vary with each project, and includes sport, physical activity, creative arts, cookery, indoor/outdoor gardening and mental wellbeing support. Some groups are also using group chat, video-conferencing and livestreaming to engage and support their children and families. Projects have been encouraged to post activity on social media using the hashtag #HHLeedsCovid19. LCF secured additional funding from Direct Line & National Emergency Fund (NET), and successfully secured funding from Department for Education for provision during the summer holidays.

  • Our Ref: 0483/19 Could You Please Provide Me with the Total Number of Islamophobic Hate Crimes for Each Year Over the Last Five
    Our ref: 0483/19 Could you please provide me with the total number of Islamophobic hate crimes for each year over the last five years? ( from 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2018). If it is possible, i would like the data to be broken down by the day they were reported. Please see the attached table which provides Islamophobic Hate Crimes recorded, broken down by date recorded, and Ward area. Please note recent increases in hate crime are predominantly associated with administrative change in relation to Force crime recording processes which have resulted in an increased likelihood of a crime being recorded following an incident report to the Police. Crime increases have been reported across a number of crime types this year and the increases in hate crime follow a similar pattern to related offences such as public order and low level violence without injury. The force has made improvements to how information about hate incidents is recorded. A number of sub-categories for the recording of faith and disability hate crimes are being introduced to get a better understanding of the impact of national and international events on local communities and improve and target services for victims. Recent publicity may also have encouraged victims of hate incidents and crimes to come forward and report their experience to the police. West Yorkshire Police support the annual Hate Crime Awareness Week in partnership with the Police and Crime Commissioner in order to highlight the issue of hate crime. The campaign aims to give people a better understanding of what hate crime is and encourage victims of hate incidents to report them.

    Hi Everyone Hope you are all safe and well, and keeping busy and happy at work, home or in the garden. Here is our first C19 Newsletter: • MEANWOOD VALLEY URBAN FARM needs your help! It goes without saying that we're all living through extraordinary and troubling times and unfortunately, I'm afraid that Meanwood Valley Urban Farm is going to struggle to get through this. We are seeking your help to make sure we can open our gates again when this crisis is over. We've had to close to all our visitors and we can no longer host the 50 sessions for vulnerable adults or the outdoor activities for around 150 local school kids each week. This all means a huge and unprecedented loss of income. We've launched a fundraising appeal to help us steer the Farm through the crisis. In our 40th year, we had big plans to celebrate our big birthday with you all. And with a little help, I hope we still can. We realise it's a hard time for many people, so any donation you can give would be hugely appreciated. While we're closed to visitors and participants; life on the Farm goes on. I'm so proud of the staff and volunteers who are still working daily to look after the animals, including our new lambs and chicks, growing food in our market garden and keeping the site safe. We'll continue to look after the Farm and all of the animals throughout this, in line with public health guidance.
