Armley - Your Neighbourhood

We visited the area mid July and are continuing to address fly tipping in the area.

If you have unwanted items, please donate them where possible; you can find out more here about donating. If your items aren't suitable for donating, you should take them to your local recycling centre, more information can be found here. If you are not able to take the items to a recycling centre, you can book a collection here.

We’ll be in your area again on 19th August – all residents are welcome to join the area visit. We’ll be walking around the area, checking for repairs, health and safety issues and neighbourhood management issues. We want to hear from you, so please join us if you can.

Keeping Our Community Safe – Free Safety Resources Available

As part of our ongoing commitment to creating a safer and more secure neighbourhood, we’re pleased to offer a range of free community safety items to residents. These resources are designed to help prevent anti-social behaviour, improve home security, and support personal safety.

Available items include:

• Personal alarms for added reassurance when out and about
• Window and door alarms to alert you to unexpected access
• Door chains and wedge alarms for extra entryway protection
• Sash jammers and window restrictors to reinforce vulnerable points
• CCTV stickers (internal and external) and dummy CCTV cameras to deter unwanted behaviour
• Soft closers and slam stops for internal doors to reduce noise and damage
• Appliance mats to help with household safety and organisation

If you’re experiencing safety concerns or would like to request any of these items, please contact your Neighbourhood Officer. We’re here to support you in making your home and community a safer place to live.

We’re planning to hold the community event on Tuesday, 21st October 2025, in Armley. The focus will be on Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) and Environmental Health, particularly around issues like waste management and fly-tipping.

More details—including the specific location and schedule—will be shared in due course, but we’re aiming to engage residents and partners in meaningful conversations and actions around these topics.

Garden Access Improvement Scheme

Leeds Federated Housing Association is undertaking an access improvement scheme to help customers maintain their gardens. The scheme involves extending garden areas by building retaining walls to create tiered gardens. The newly created areas will be turfed and fenced off to provide usable garden space.

Works have commenced and, depending on weather conditions, are expected to be completed by the end of October 2025.

Phase 1 (Properties 96 - 104) was completed in March 2025.

Phase 2 (Properties 82 - 92) is currently in progress.

Please note that there are no remaining funds available for this financial year. Any additional properties will be assessed for inclusion in the next financial year.

Property No. 92 previously received large-scale landscaping funded by Leeds Federated. As such, there are currently no plans to undertake further works at this address.
