We have been informed that Yorkshire Water have urgent works to repair a collapsed sewer on A658 Pool Bank New Road at the junction with the A660 Leeds Road near the old Dyneley Arms Hotel

In order to carry out the works safely,  from 2000hrs this evening, 4-way temporary lights are to be set up at this junction and are likely to continue through tomorrow morning’s peak, however Yorkshire Water will be working to get these removed as soon as possible

To minimise disruption, the lights will be manually operated throughout the day

Leeds City Council is running a public consultation on the 2027/28 admission policy for Leeds community and voluntary controlled schools. You can share your view until 1 December. Find out more at www.leeds.gov.uk/SchoolAdmissionsConsultations

After many appeals for help in the Village the Bramhope Branch of the Royal British Legion is applying to be County Supported as we are noncompliant with R.B.L. regulations meaning we have no Officers to cover the important positions in Branch management.

The Branch has not closed and will still organise the Poppy Appeal and officiate at Remembrance and Armistice Day to which the Village is always invited to and supports very well.

If previous requests for anyone who would like to help with the Bramhope Branch has not reached you yet and you would be able to help then please get in touch with John Broadley, 07791085753.

 The Branch is committed to deliver Community Support to ex service people but membership of the British Legion is open to all respective of age.
