09/10/2023 18:00-19:00 at Pool Village Hall, Arthington Lane, LS211LG.

Black Hill Rd Closure

Black Hill Rd in Arthington is closing on 4th September morning for approximately five weeks to allow extensive drainage improvements along the carriageway. Contractors will be installing new gully pots and connecting them to the existing highway drain in the grass verge. This should help reduce the amount of surface water flowing down the highway at this location.

Once the drainage works have completed, the road will also be resurfaced.

As Black Hill Rd is very narrow, the road will be closed 24/7 until the works are completed. There is a signed diversion along Arthington Lane, Pool Bank New Rd, Leeds Rd, Kings Rd and Arthington Rd. Directly affected residents should have received a letter.

The National Association of Local Councils (NALC) run the Make A Change  campaign. As part of the campaign, NALC will be hosting an online event with the Local Government Association (LGA)  on how interested members of the public can be the voice of the community by standing for election as a local councillor.

The empowering event on 14 November 2023 will discuss the path to becoming a local councillor and to positively impact the local area and society. The event will provide an invaluable opportunity to learn about the vital work and role of councillors from an expert panel. Councillors who have served at various local government levels will share their insights, experiences, and advice about the world of local leadership.

The event is free and booking and details can be found here: Claim your FREE place today!

This summer, Leeds City Council’s Families First Team (part of Children and Families) are supporting the Zero Waste School Uniform Exchange by collecting unwanted uniform at Merrion House.

The collection point will be on the ground floor between the entrance barriers and the lifts. These donations will be taken to events happening over the summer where families will be able to collect free, good quality, used uniform.

As well as supporting our environmental aims, this will also support families financially as the average school uniform costs £344 for a secondary school student.

The campaign is looking to collect items:

• skirts,
• shirts,
• trousers,
• pinafores,
• PE kit,
• school shoes, and
• school bags.

Please can these be washed beforehand and in good condition as they will be taken straight out to the pop up events.

Note: Unfortunately we aren’t able to collect logo school specific uniform from this collection point.  Please check the map for your specific school collection: Map – Leeds School Uniform Exchange (leedsuniformexchange.org.uk)

They are also collecting scientific calculators and maths sets. If you have any to donate please can they be placed in a separate bag and labelled.

If yourself, family, friends would benefit from support with school uniform please check for your local pop up shop: Community Schemes – Leeds School Uniform Exchange (leedsuniformexchange.org.uk)
