“From the Editors

January saw a spate of bugs and viruses attacking Ad residents including our own Rector. We hope that all have now recovered and are ready to look forward to the longer days of Spring, which surely can’t be too far away now.. As we write this the daffodils are already peeping their heads through the soil.

Our magazine covers not only even in Add, but we regularly feature articles about France and other countries. This month, however, we venture as far afield as China! Read about Beth’s and Emily’s experiences on page 16. If you have any interesting news of any other of our church family members, please let us know. It makes interesting reading to find out what people have been up to.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped to make Christmas so enjoyable in our church. These things don’t just happen of their own accord: there is a lot of preparation and hard work going on behind the scenes. It was also good, seeing the pupils from our Church School being involved. For more details see pages 12 and 16.”

Leeds Core Strategy Document

You may be interested to know that we have recently received the following information in respect of the above from Cllr Barry Anderson.

The Council have today (28th) launched their consultation on the Core Strategy, which is the city plan that will replace the current Unitary Development Policy (UDP) in the city.

The Core Strategy sets out the Council’s vision for the future development of Leeds over the next 15 years, and is the principal document in the Local Development Framework. It addresses a wide range of environmental, social and economic considerations in order to address the challenges and opportunities which Leeds faces. The Core Strategy is shaped by a range of policies, including the Vision for Leeds (Community Strategy) and national guidance.

This is an important document and will have a significant effect on the lives of all residents of Leeds. There will be a subsequent document issued in the future where the individual sites where development might be possible will be issued and at this stage it will become very controversial. However, at this stage it is vitally important that your views on the high level strategy are made clear to the Council in terms of the priorities they see for retail development, employment development and probably most importantly, housing development, in the city.

In order to gain access to the documentation please click here…

Please bring this information to the attention of your friends and neighbours who may not have access to the internet as it is important that everyone contributes to this debate.

Landlord Conference

We refer to the above that the Chair of Adel Crag attended in 2011.  Please see the response recently received from LCC below which may be of interest to you.

Dear all,

Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone that attended the landlord conference in 2011. I am delighted to be able to attach the first official feedback from the day itself. I apologise for the delay in this response but we felt it necessary to ensure all the points that you raised in feedback were investigated and we allowed our various partners and departments opportunity to formulate ideas and their official responses.

As and when further information becomes available this will be issued to you.

Thank you once more and we look forward to continued collaboration in the private rented sector.

Yours faithfully,
