Stocks Hill: Campaign to save mental health hub from axe continues

By Peter McDonagh

The service users of Stocks Hill Hub in Chapel Lane, Armley have again been to Leeds Civic Hall today to deliver a petition to a meeting of full council.

The signatures are from people who want the building to remain open as a community resource for Armley and West Leeds.

The building is a purpose-built mental health support centre. If it closes it will leave people with less options for day time activities and therapeutic support.

There is more than one petition in circulation and more than 1200 names have been collected.

The hub is under threat of closure as Leeds City Council is currently consulting on whether to move the mental health services to another location. A decision will be made in April.

Campaigners fear the service could be heading to a centre in Horsforth.
