Residents on a West Leeds street have had their say on how they would like to improve their community.
A community day was held on Borrowdale Crescent to hear about what works well, what could be better and their ideas for improvements in the area, between Armley and Bramley.
As part of the day, residents were invited to complete a survey about the street and local area which will feed into a joint plan between residents, Leeds Federated and Connect Housing to help bring people together and build a strong community.
During the event, Leeds Federated and Connect Housing colleagues provided skips for residents and were on hand to offer advice on finances, tenancies and gardening.
As well as speaking to residents, colleagues litter picked the street and neighbouring open green space. The litter pick was supported by Litter Free Leeds who provided their distinctive brand of purple bags. They also arranged for all the filled purple bags to be collected at the end of the day by the Council.
Charlie Churchouse, Neighbourhood Officer at Leeds Federated, said: “It was great to work alongside Connect Housing and bring everyone together for the community day. We heard some good feedback from residents and we hope to hear more through our online surveys.
“From resident feedback, we’re going to create a series of shared Neighbourhood Plans linking organisations, charities, volunteers and people with shared interests together, to shape and build strong communities.”

My biggest complaint is owners not picking up the dogs duty off the streets when walking their pet I have a dog and pick up and bin appropriately but I get a lot of bad vibes from people passing avoiding the mess and look at me as if my pet had just done it
We need to step up and catch these pet owners out
