Neighbourhood Police Update W/c 2nd January 2012

Crime
We have only had one report of burglary this week in the Adel area, this occurred on Long Causeway. The offender has used mole grips to attack the rear patio door and gained access to the property. Once inside they have stolen various items including the vehicle from the driveway. This vehicle is still outstanding at this moment in time but enquiries are ongoing.

There have not been any other reports of any other crimes this week in Adel. However, we did receive a call from a neighbourhood watch coordinator on Kingsley Drive in Adel stating that he had seen a male in his rear garden looking through his window at approximately 1800hrs on 06/01/2012. The male had made off over grassland near the property, police units flooded the area to conduct a search but no male was seen matching the description. No offences had taken place at the property but please be vigilant and call the police if you see anyone acting suspiciously at all.

ASB
We have not had any reports of anti-social behaviour this week for the Adel area and we have not witnessed any unruly behaviour either on our patrols.

Leeds NHS Urgent Care Consultation

Please see email below in respect of Leeds NHS Urgent Care Consultation which you may be interested in contributing to.

We are writing to tell you that, following changes that were made to the urgent care services in 2009, we would now like to hear from people about where they think the best locations are for urgent care in Leeds.

Urgent Care is for when you have minor accidents or unexpected health problems and need help within the next few hours, but it is not an emergency or life threatening. Important progress has already been made in improving the health of the local population, but there is still working to be done. NHS Leeds want to make further improvements to urgent care services to build on improvements already made in 2009.

We are consulting with people for 14 weeks, from Monday 5 December 2011 until Sunday 4 March 2012, as we would like as many views as possible.

This booklet is also available online at www.leeds.nhs.uk/consultations.

The responses we receive will help to shape the future of urgent health care services in Leeds, delivered from the right locations, which are convenient and accessible to the majority of people.

We are grateful for your cooperation.

Kind regards,

David Wilson Homes Plans – site of Holt Avenue LS16

Please find information received yesterday from Cllr Barry Anderson:

“I was recently asked why the Council are insisting on different building materials rather than the preferences of local residents.

I have now received a reply from Planning which is set out below.”

Dear Councillor,

Further to your email I hope the following is a helpful response. The applicant [DW Homes] is proposing that the houses could either be built of an artificial stone or in a brick option. Adel has a range of building materials and as such either of these options is likely to be appropriate. The local community wish to see the houses built-in stone; this was discussed at the pre-application presentation to Plans Panel West, though no clear indication of what Panel thought on this matter was received. The colour of the artificial stone proposed by the applicant is a grey not yellow option. As the application site is not within a conservation area or affecting the setting of a listed building to any significant degree it is not reasonable to require the applicant to build the houses in natural stone. Accordingly using a grey art stone normally gives a better finish than an artificial yellow coloured stone and as such will probably look better in the context of Adel and compliment the range of existing building material. Clearly you will appreciate this is our view on the material proposed by the applicant and is subjective.

I hope this assists.

Regards,

Principal Planner
Planning Services
