Update on Litter Complaint

Thank you to those who raised concerns about litter in the area. Following several visits and inspections, we have not found any significant litter issues at this time. However, if residents do notice litter, especially on the main street, they are encouraged to report it directly to Leeds City Council (LCC) or to Leeds Federated Housing Association (LFHA) so it can be addressed promptly.

• Report litter to LCC:
  Visit www.leeds.gov.uk or call 0113 222 4406

• Report litter to LFHA:
  Email enquiries@lfha.co.uk or call 0113 386 1000

For bulky waste collection, residents can book a collection through Leeds City Council. Each household is entitled to one free collection per financial year, with additional collections available for a fee.

We appreciate your continued efforts in keeping our community clean and welcoming.

Shelter's Money Information Sessions

I’m excited to share that our Money Information Sessions are launching this week!

We’re kicking things off at Leeds Mind and will be rolling out sessions across the city in partnership with a range of local organisations.

With the support of Shelter volunteers, these sessions aim to support individuals facing challenges with living costs and work towards preventing homelessness. The sessions will cover money saving tips, guidance on where to access financial support, and offer signposting to relevant services – ensuring attendees can access the broader help they may need.

We hope these sessions will also help reduce waiting lists for financial advice services – so please do share with your clients and service users.

SURPLUS TO PURPOSE

Hello, just wanted to share something that might be helpful if things are a bit tight right now. There are some great local initiatives working to make sure good food doesn't go to waste and gets to people who need it.

Basically, they team up with businesses to rescue perfectly good surplus food and then share it with the community. It's a win-win: less waste and more support for families.

If you're finding it hard to put food on the table, it might be worth looking into these kinds of projects in our neighbourhood. They're doing some really important work.

The link below will take you to the website full of help and advice or if you want to donate.

27/03/2025 Update: The final plan for your area is now live and available to view. All consultations and polls are now closed. Thank you for your participation.

UPDATE 10/03/25 - Your Draft Neighbourhood Plan for Kirkstall has been uploaded. Please use the Quick poll to give us your feedback by the 21st March 2025.
