Armley Common Right Trust will be holding is next quarterly open meeting at Interplay Theatre on Armley Ridge Road on Thursday, 28 March at 7pm.
Chairman Philip Cave said: “We are committed to openness and clarity, and welcome any resident of Armley who would like to ask us questions, contribute to the discussions or find out what’s going on.”
Topics include:
- Plans for the year ahead, including the feast, circus visits, hanging basket event and Armley Festival.
- The new Commoner’s Muck gardening club, which welcomes gardeners of all ages and abilities to learn more about gardening, contribute their knowledge, or a bit of both.
- Horses on the Moor and how to best manage the open spaces for everyone.
- The latest information on the ground source heat pump project for the Burnsalls.
- Long-term plans and activities.
- and anything that the residents of Armley would like to ask.
The trust has been busy over the winter months with gardening, tidying and weeding in Charlie Cake Park and Little Moor, as well as formulating medium to long term plans for Armley that will involve all ages, all abilities and all aspects of Armley’s vibrant community.
The trust is responsible for managing, protecting and preserving the open spaces in Armley. Formed after a unique Act of Parliament in the late 1700s, the Trust exists to manage the land on behalf of the people of Armley, and to make decisions (after consultation) in the best interests of the long-term future of the land.
It looks after six pieces of land: the Moor, Far Fold, Moor Top, Charlie Cake Park and Hill Top. A further portion of land in Ley Lane was leased by Leeds City Council in the 1960s on a 99-year lease.
