Proposal for Play Area in Adel

Adel Crag Association wish to share with you that we have not given up on trying to find a suitable play area for children to play.  We have been in contact with a company who can help us through each stage of our project should the need arise.

Before we can proceed any further we need a suitable area for the project to go, avoiding it being too close to housing and without spoiling the natural beauty of our village.

We are presently looking at land off Tile Lane and at the side of Adel St John the Baptist school.

Should anyone have any alternative suggestions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you.

Online Renewals for Senior Concessionary Passes

Are you or do you know anyone over 60?

A significant number of Senior Passes across West Yorkshire are due to expire on 31 March 2013. If you have one of these passes or know someone over 60 who might have one of these passes then did you know you could renew these on online now.

It’s quick, easy and a new pass will be posted out within 7-10 days which can be used straight away.

If you have one of these passes but are struggling to renew online then ask a friend or relative to help you or try using a computer at your local library.  Or if you know someone over 60 without access to the internet then ask them if you can help them renew it online.

Don’t wait until next year; beat the rush now and save the hassle of queuing in a Travel Centre nearer the time to renew in person. Please note you cannot renew your Pass at the Post Office. Blind and Disabled Passes can be renewed online from December 2012.

Action is urged to tackle Sunday football parking congestion issue

A COUNCILLOR is calling for action to tackle weekend parking problems in a north Leeds neighbourhood.

Residents have complained about Sunday morning parking congestion near Bedquilts playing fields at Adel.

Coun Barry Anderson (Cons, Adel and Wharfedale) said the problems caused by overspill parking when the pitches are in use on Sundays had recently got worse.

He said: “The number of teams using the pitches, and therefore the number of cars visiting the area, has increased dramatically, making current car parking provision totally inadequate.

‘The situation is now wholly unacceptable.

“On a Sunday morning, Adel Lane is almost totally parked up on one side from St Helen’s Lane to church Lane.

‘This reduces the lane to a single track road, causing total gridlock at times.

“The city council’s parks and countryside department need to seriously consider whether the current car parking provision is adequate.

“Part of this could be looking to ensure that users of the current two car parks are maximising the space available.

“In the meantime, however, visitors to Bedquilts cannot be allowed to cause mayhem for residents on what should be a peaceful day.”
