|  | | | Editorial Comment | | Mayoress of Garforth | Congratulations to Garforth Councillor Andrea McKenna and her Councillor husband Jim on their appointments as Lady Mayoress and Lord Mayor respectively of the city of Leeds from next May. It is a great honour to represent our city in this way and she will not let us down. Well done councillor.
| | RAF Blows Windmills Away | The proposed wind turbines at Micklefield have been rejected by the Council because they will affect radar at nearby RAF airfields, jeopardising the lives of aircrew using them. A good decision, why risk lives unnecessarily when any other field in Leeds would be equally as suitable as the one at Hook Moor? Fortunately we have Councillors and MPs across the city who have spoken out strongly in support of building windfarms. They will no doubt be scouring their constituencies for a suitable plot of land. But don’t hold your breath.
| | Kippax Parish Council Show the Way | Having surveyed every home, giving every resident the opportunity to say how they want their community to develop, then analysing, publishing and issuing the findings to every household, Kippax Parish Plan steering group is now taking the first steps to realising these aspirations of their community, confident that it has a popular mandate. Meanwhile in other communities across the district, people similarly charged with finding better ways of engaging with the general public, have briefly discussed the matter in small, unpublicised meetings and decided that it is probably best if they continue to make decisions for the community in small unpublicised meetings. Shame. | | |

 |  | | Local Heroes Sixty seven years ago last September the second world war started. Whilst it is just history to most of us, to many of our oldest residents it was a terrifying reality. Everyone who lived through it has his or her own personal memories of those historic events. If you have a story, why not share it with us. Send it here. Meanwhile here is Charlie’s War |
