A one-way system was in operation for pedestrians

The free trip to Lincoln Christmas Market was a great success with 47 people of all generations attending, despite it being a cold day.  Everyone enjoyed it.

These are some of the comments received:

“Mulled wine and Bratwurst helped to make up for the feeling of being a sardine in an ocean of very tightly packed sardines. We had a good day, but there was an unbelievable amount of people there”!

“The architecture inside the magnificent 12th Century Cathedral was so beautiful it took your breath away.  In fact we enjoyed it so much we later went back to take another look round.”

“It was divine to see and listen to the story about one of the stone carvings within the Cathedral – the Lincoln Imp.”  Apparently there are several variations of the legend surrounding the figure.  History of the Lincoln Imp please click here…..

“It was unbelievable how many people were there feeling packed together like penguins but warm which created a great atmosphere.”

“Thanks for a good day out on Saturday. We all appreciated the opportunity to take part and feel grateful for all the hard work put in to organising the event. It was an enjoyable day, in spite of all the tremendous crowds of visitors.”

“It was nice that the Lincoln Council had organised a one-way system in place to make it easier for visitors but still they continued to walk in the wrong direction thus making it more difficult to get through the crowds.

“We would love to do the trip again sometime.”

Adel Crag would like to thank you all for your comments and to thank all those who kindly gave a donation. This will be used wisely towards forthcoming events and other commodities that are necessary for your association to engage with all generations.

We also wish to thank West North West Homes Leeds for Diverse Community Fund funding for the trip, which your association submitted a bid for approval, making it possible for us to give all generations some joy and an opportunity to get to know each other better and to bring back the community spirit.

We hope you’ll continue to support us and look forward to seeing you again at our future events.

Grass Cutting Contract

Please see below recently received from Cllr Barry Anderson giving update on the new ground maintenance contract between the various ALMOs including West North West homes Leeds and Continental who have taken over from Glendale since January 2012.

“Please find set out below some information on the new grass cutting service which started on 1st January 2012. As you may or may not be aware Glendales used to have the grass cutting contract and they have been replaced by a company called Continental Landscapes Ltd.

The mobilisation programme has been successful and Continental started the new contract on the 3rd of January 2012. Following a detailed induction training course for their front line staff, they started winter maintenance work on shrub and rose beds across the city on the 5th of January and the monitoring carried out to date shows that they are delivering services to the required standards.

In view of the very mild winter weather conditions experienced to date, discussions are taking place with Continental to bring forward the first grass cut, now programmed to commence on 13th February 2012. There will be areas of grass that will not be accessible due to soft ground conditions or where spring bulbs have been planted and for these reasons, the first cut will be partial.

Set out below is a copy of the information being sent to residents, in case you see the grass being cut, or not, as the case may be, in February.”

Grass Cutting Service 2012 

Communication Bulletin: January 2012

Dear Resident,

Continental Landscapes has taken over responsibility for cutting grass in your area as of 1st January 2012 and are preparing for the mowing season that normally commences in early March. Continental Landscapes will provide a grounds maintenance service to Leeds City Council housing areas within East North East Homes Leeds, Aire Valley Homes Leeds, West North West Homes Leeds, Belle Isle Tenant Management Organisation (BITMO) and Highways.

The Winter of 2011-2012 has so far been one of the mildest on record with grass continuing to grow throughout the Winter period. Unless there is a sharp cold spell in January and February the grass will be very long in March making the first cut difficult and unsightly, with large volumes of grass growth being inevitable.

Planning the first cut
Continental Landscapes are planning to start cutting grass earlier this year in an attempt to get ahead of a flush of growth from the Winter. There may be difficulties with such an early cut and this communication bulletin will help explain what residents can expect.

What Continental Landscapes will do

  • Ensure trained staff assess ground conditions prior to putting machines on site to avoid damage.
  • Cut as many areas as possible utilising all but the largest of our machinery.
  • Ensure trained staff have map details of bulb areas to avoid any damage.

What Continental Landscapes will not do

  • Cut grass on steep banks which could be dangerous to staff due to wet and slippery conditions.
  • Cut grass with poor natural drainage to prevent extensive damage.

Future Maintenance
Those sites omitted from the first cut due to poor ground conditions will be maintained to a standard that is consistent with the contract specification through delivery of the second and third cuts.

Thanks

Barry

We need your help to name the fantastic new facility that’s being built-in Holt Park. The new centre will provide support for people of any age or ability to live active lifestyles. Whilst the new centre will eventually replace the existing leisure centre, the new facility will offer a much wider range of inclusive facilities, where people can do activities, socialise and learn new skills, and we want to reflect this in the name.

Please note closing date for entries: 27th January 2012.
