Crime Rates in Horsforth Crime rates are a valid concern for residents and people thinking of reloca�ng to Horsforth. A popular loca�on for people who like city living, but also want to enjoy more rural surroundings, Horsforth has a proud reputa�on of being a low level crime area, and the cost of living here reflects that. It is now possible to view the crime rates online through the Police’s website. The figures for Horsforth are rela�vely low, consis�ng of 44 incidents of crime and an�-social behaviour (ASB) in February. However on closer inspec�on, the crime figures for Horsforth on the police website do not include the larger residen�al areas around Broadway, New Road Side and Low Lane. Taking these areas into account, and neighbouring Tinshill, the figure is considerably higher.

Approximately 164 incidents of crime and ASB occurred in February, with the most frequent occurrences being ASB, closely followed by other crime, which includes shopli�ing, criminal damage and drug offences. Burglary makes up a significant propor�on of the figures. Looking at the neighbourhood sta�s�cs, (the neighbourhood consis�ng of Horsforth, Rawdon, Guiseley, Yeadon, Bramhope, Carlton, Arthington, up to Pool and Otley) the crime rate is 6 per 1000 people, which, according to the site, is average. ASB is more prevalent in the wider Horsforth area than other crimes, which is a worrying trend.

“This is a crime which causes environmental damage, obstruc�on to people passing by and encourages an�-social behavior”

Waste Site Closure Update In last months Covered we asked if you were concerned about fly �pping following the closure of the Calverley Bridge waste site. It seems that problems has already begun and residents are being urged to report fly�ppers who have dumped rubbish including fencing, builders’ rubble and even an old bath in Woodhall Lane, Calverley. Leeds City Council is appealing to residents in the area to help them iden�fy the rubbish. They hope this will lead them to the people behind the illicit offloading of waste, which should be disposed of at official sites. Councillor Tom Murray, execu�ve member for environmental services, Leeds City

Council, said: “We want to ﬁnd out who is responsible for this irresponsible dumping and bring them to jus�ce. This is a crime which causes environmental damage, obstruc�on to people passing by and encourages an�-social behavior”. The council is appealing for local support to help eradicate this ongoing blight. Someone may recognise the dumped items or may even have spo�ed this happening and they are urged to contact the council with any details that would help trace those responsible.

Anyone who can help with iden�fying the dumped waste or the people or vehicles involved should call enforcement oﬃcers on 0113 395 1765.

Following last months Horsforth Ma�ers there has been some posi�ve developments with graﬃ� being removed from several public buildings and road-signs. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the state of our roads and footpaths, which con�nue to cause problems for residents. Broadgate Drive holds on to top posi�on in our list of neglected roads with no fewer than 29 reportable and dangerous potholes along its length. There has been no work on the top of Batchelor Lane or Hall Lane and for the third month running the collapsed surface at the top of Town Street is s�ll causing havoc to motorists and cyclists alike! I hear from a disappointed householder, who ﬁrst reported the potholes back in the spring of 2010, that the road to the top of Batchelor Lane is now in such a poor state of repair local residents are now having to divert down Broadgate Lane to get home or risk

ruining their suspension. Cllr Chris Townsley recently told this magazine “potholes, when reported, are generally fixed in 48 hours”. That seems not to be the case here. I have received several le�ers regarding “An� Social Behavior” and the recent spate of vandalism that is bligh�ng certain areas. Specifically within Hall Park, the public phone box/area around the shops on Broadgate lane and around Troy Hill. I will be forwarding details directly to our neighbourhood policing team and will keep you aware of developments. Local elec�ons have now taken place and I am pleased that the old guard has finally changed and that Horsforth has finally got a new Councilor to represent its interests in Leeds. I am hopeful that now Horsforth will start to receive its fair share and I look forward to repor�ng progress over the coming months.

“Broadgate Drive holds on to top posi�on in our list of neglected roads with no fewer than 29 reportable and dangerous potholes along its length”. I am also delighted to report that as we go to press the new benches that we have been campaigning for since 2009 have started to be installed around the town, well done to Horsforth Town Council for this addi�onal funding. Next month Horsforth Ma�ers will focus on illegal and inconsiderate parking that causes misery to so many residents and we ask why we do not have more eﬀec�ve enforcement. So please keep your le�ers coming in and thank you all for your support. Horsforth really ma�ers!

Prevent burglary – check your locks Police in North West Leeds have issued an appeal for householders to get their uPVC door locks checked and, if needed, replaced with secure Euro Cylinder locks. This follows an increase in break-ins where cheap locks have been forced by burglars using a simple tool to smash the lock - a technique well known among criminals. One in four burglaries in West Yorkshire involve Euro Proﬁle locks, which are widely used in older uPVC doors. Inspector Richard Coldwell, from the North West Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “At the moment burglary is s�ll the biggest crime problem that we have got in this area. Burglaries are not high, but they are higher than they should be. It is li�le measures like this that can help avoid being a crime vic�m.” Neil Goldup, Chief Execu�ve of CASAC (Community Ac�on and Support Against Crime), said: “It’s incredibly easy for criminals to gain entry once they realise what type of lock is in the door. CASAC oﬀers a free service to Covered readers to check proper�es and we have new fully-tested Euro cylinder locks.” CASAC is an established West Yorkshire social enterprise that works with local people, the Police and other agencies to improve community safety, reduce crime and the fear of crime. Contact the CASAC team on 0845 519 2122 to book your free no obliga�on home security assessment or visit www.casac. org.uk to book online.

Readers’ Letters

Local People

Dear Covered,

STAR LETTER £25 Give us a call to claim Dear Covered, I read in your last issue that our Horsforth Maﬁa ( Aka: Our 3 City councillors ) are ge�ng annoyed with Bob Horsforth because of his campaign against the potholes in Horsforth. All we ever hear from these 3 “elected” ( by less than one tenth of the popula�on ! ) representa�ves is that they can’t get anything done because the “Labour led” City council have made cuts. They conveniently omit to men�on that it is “their” ConDem Government who have forced the massive cutbacks having to be made by the Local Council. The only thing that annoys me about Bob Horsforth is his silly surname, Regards... Bob Upandown. ( ! ) Mr B Peters, 64 St. James Terrace, Horsforth.

I live just above the flats where the Hospital used to be on Outwood lane. Since Dickies scrap yard was replaced with housing and the hospital with flats, parking on Outwood Lane between the Church and the narrow lane (beside Outwood House) has become a real problem for residents. Most of the parked cars belong to workers from the offices at the bo�om of the road. There is a short distance, which was not given double yellow line status, and even though we have succeeded in ge�ng white lines in front of our drives, it is extremely difficult to see if cars are coming along the road when emerging from the drive. The problem is exacerbated when drivers abuse the white lines and park opposite each other, only one car can navigate the road at one �me and frequent stopping, pulling in and reversing occurs. Ideally we would like resident only parking Mon to Fri between 8am and 5pm. If you can put pressure on the council to do something I would be very grateful. Regards, Brian Denison

Dear Covered, We have been enjoying beau�ful weather recently and like many other residents of Horsforth, I was straight to the park to soak up some sun. Pork pie picnic on hand, I had a lovely a�ernoon sat watching people frolicking in the sun. My pleasure was however cut short when I went to use the public conveniences. Convenient would be the last word I would use to describe the experience. My sunny April dream quickly morphed into a nightmare. The toilets were more akin to a horror film set, with suspicious substances on the walls, ceiling and floor, no light to see what I was doing, and toilet paper a ridiculous wishful thought. No hand towels, or even a receptacle to offer hand towels was available. I was really quite shocked, and I have travelled to North Africa and used some very basic toilets in my �me. I then remembered your ar�cle about the Bandstand Revamp and felt incensed that £2000 could be spent on a lick of paint, when the toilets are in such a nausea�ng condi�on. Did no-one think the money could be stretched to buy a light bulb, a few rolls of toilet paper and a bo�le of bleach? Kate, Horsforth

Geraldine in absence of staﬀ most of this long weekend has been splendid. Maybe I shouldn’t have asked her to re-�le the roof.

.......................................................... @tomriordan (Leader Leeds City Council)

Pete’s Cross Channel Feat

Local People

Horsforth fundraiser Pete Windridge-France is taking on a cross channel swimming challenge in aid of Penny Field School. Pete’s son a�ends the school, which is a Specialist Inclusive Learning Centre in Meanwood. His swim will be carried out w/c 18th September with the actual day he sets off determined by weather condi�ons and �des. As if the challenge wasn’t difficult enough, the swim is in accordance with Channel Swimmers and Pilots Federa�ons rules so Pete will don just his trunks, goggles and a non-insulated cap – no wetsuit allowed! 37 year old Pete hopes to cross the channel within 18 hours and raise £8,000. Pete has already personally paid for his naviga�on crew and boat so every pound raised will go directly to The Friends of Penny Field. The money will help replace old equipment, spruce up dilapidated areas, and provide fun days out for the kids to s�mula�ng places such as urban farms that wouldn’t usually be easily accessible from them It’s a great local cause, so please help if you can. To find out more and to donate online please visit www.peteswims.com or www. justgiving/peteswims Friends of Penny Field, registered charity no: 1090237

Female professors to the fore at Leeds Trinity University College Leeds Trinity University College has bucked the na�onal trend with the appointment of four new female professors as it recognises the achievements of academic staff. This means that four out of the five professors on the teaching staff at Leeds Trinity are women, which contrasts sharply with the na�onal picture. Times Higher Educa�on reported in January that 19.1% of professors na�onally are female compared with 44% of all academic staff. Professor Maureen Meikle, Head of Humani�es and Professor of Early Modern History, said, “For four out of the five professors to be women is a major achievement. The appointment of seven professors and readers in the Humani�es department acknowledges the level of scholarship in our department and the interna�onal reputa�on of our researchers.” With scholarly work subject to peer review by expert colleagues around the world, the conferment of the �tles is acknowledgement

of achievements by the wider academic community as well as by Leeds Trinity itself. Professor Freda Bridge, Leeds Trinity’s Principal and Chief Execu�ve, said, “The appointment of five professors and three readers is a significant development for Leeds Trinity University College. It shows that Leeds Trinity is a wellrespected higher educa�on ins�tu�on and acknowledges the importance of research and scholarship for staff. For students it is a clear sign that they are taught by academics who are leaders in their own par�cular subject area.” The new Professors and Readers at Leeds Trinity University College:

We hope to see members past and present for what should be a truly memorable and nostalgic evening.

TASC Badminton Club – Celebra�ng 30 years! TASC Badminton Club, who are based at Leeds Trinity University College (formerly Trinity All Saint’s College) are celebra�ng their 30th Anniversary this year and are appealing for members past and present to join them in an evening of celebra�on. Sylvia Sellers and a handful of friends from a baby-si�ng circle who all liked to play a weekly game of badminton formed the club in June 1981. The club ini�ally hired one court but membership grew quickly and the club now hires three courts at Trinity. One of the ﬁrst private badminton clubs in the area, TASC has 20 members including students from Trinity. Sylvia told us “We pride ourselves in being a friendly, sociable yet compe��ve club. A few of our present members have been with the club 15 years or more!” The club meets on Fridays from 7:30pm – 9:30pm, 50 weeks of the year.

Founder member Sylvia has organised an evening with a “ﬁnger buﬀet and glass of something to whet the appe�te” to celebrate 30 years of TASC Badminton club. “Over 30 years I have had the pleasure of mee�ng so many interes�ng and nice people” she told us “I would like to thank all past and present members for their support and in par�cular, Graham Henson, Bob Athey, Sally Ellam and Ken Wilson for their dedica�on and support. Not forge�ng members of the baby-si�ng circle! Judy, Armani, Janet, Margaret and Norma who 30 years ago helped establish the club! We hope to see members past and present for what should be a truly memorable and nostalgic evening. The TASC Badminton Club 30 year celebra�on takes place on Friday 10th June at 7pm at Leeds Trinity University College. If you would like to a�end, or require further informa�on about the club please contact Sylvia Sellers on: 0113 2590113 or Graham Henson on 0113 2584532.

Yarnbury News An enthusias�c, large crowd gathered and raised £1700 for the St James unit of the Teenage Cancer Trust when recent past colts played Yarnbury RFC’s current colts squad. The charity game was in memory of popular ex-Yarnbury Colt Oli Simcoe-Shelton who died earlier this year. Six tries were scored, three to each side, in a full-blooded game which raised much needed funds and awareness for the unit. The club would like to extend thanks to everyone who helped make the day a huge success. Those wishing to further support the cause should contact the club directly.

Yarnbury’s own ﬁrst team prop Richard Lister is running The Leeds Half Marathon on 8th May for the Teenage Cancer Trust.To support him please visit www.justgiving.com/ richlisterforoli and for more informa�on on the Teenage Cancer Trust visit www. teenagecancertrust.org Also at Yarnbury, a match was organised by Yarnbury Under 13’s coach Paul Marshall between Farnley Junior ARLFC and Yarnbury. The game was put on to give both sides a chance of experiencing the two diﬀerent rugby codes, playing half a game of Rugby League and Rugby Union. It also gave Farnley Junior

ARLFC who are coached by ex Yarnbury player Simon Briers experience of the Horsforth facili�es and something about the history of the club.

Horsforth Cricket Club On the build up to the new season,

Local Sport

Horsforth Cricket Club played two preseason friendlies against a backdrop of glorious sunshine and a large number of spectators. Although both games, against top Bradford League side Farsley and Division A team Follifoot, ended in defeat against much stronger opposi�on, Horsforth players were able to get some good match prac�ce. It seems the prac�ce paid oﬀ as Horsforth Cricket Club enjoyed a perfect start to the new season, with both1st & 2nd teams registering decisive victories on the opening Saturday.

The 1st XI cruised to victory over Alwoodley, bowling the opposi�on out for just 119 with Andrew Robinson taking 4-32. Openers Richard Graves & Kris Lewis then put on a century stand to set Horsforth on their way to a 7 wicket victory. Meanwhile, back at Horsforth, the 2nd XI were struggling at 1039 un�l a league record-equaling 10th wicket partnership of 84 between juniors Paul Hands (68 not out)and Nick Taylor(5) saw HCC through to a respectable 187. Opening bowler Pete Wincup then led the way with 5-21 as Pool were bowled out for just 68. The second game of the season bought mixed fortunes for the club. The 1st X1 clinched an excellent victory, seeing oﬀ Ilkley by 48 runs.

Horsforth, ba�ed first and reached 72-3 thanks to a partnership of 53 between Kris Lewis & Ollie Musgrave. Andrew Robinson then came to the wicket and set about the Ilkley a�ack, racing to a rapid 77, while Lewis also completed an excellent knock of 61. Faced with Horsforth’s final total of 203, Ilkley slumped to 54-6 before their overseas player Bezzent saw their score pass the 100 mark. Robinson & Bates finally mopped up the tail to bowl out the visitors for 155, Robinson taking 6-57. Horsforth’s 2nd Team, meanwhile, suffered a less successful day, being bowled out for just 109 at Follifoot. The home side made short work of overhauling the HCC total, losing 2 wickets in the process. The club has finally received confirma�on that our overseas player, Adam Mabb, will be joining for the new season. Adam, a fast bowler from Queensland, has

been wai�ng for his visa to be cleared by the authorities back home but has now arrived in England and is raring to go start taking wickets! Keep up with HCC! For the ﬁrst �me, followers of Horsforth CC are able to keep up to date with live scores from games through Twi�er (Twi�er. com/HorsforthCC). The club has also launched an oﬃcial club page on Facebook and the new website (w w w.pitchero.com/clubs/ horsforthcricketclub) is now receiving in excess of 3000 hits a week!

Thanks to Chris Taylor.

Purpose built Retirement L O

ver the past few years a new type of housing development has begun to spring up in our towns and cities. Purpose built private retirement developments providing housing exclusively for the over 60s are now in demand. The market leader, McCarthy & Stone, is coming to the Yeadon area, ﬁlling a gap in the market, developing run down brownﬁeld land and freeing up property for mainstream buyers.

McCarthy & Stone has received planning permission for 30 Retirement Living apartments on Rufford Avenue in Yeadon. Building work is now underway with the sales release anticipated in May this year.

Covered Property

Steve Secker, Regional Managing Director for McCarthy & Stone, said: “The demand for new homes continues to increase while housing production reaches an 80 year low. We now face an urgent housing challenge across the UK, but measures to simply increase housing supply don’t go far enough. At McCarthy and Stone we think more focus should be put on creating the right type of housing for our rapidly ageing population. “We are living longer than ever before. Over the last century life expectancy has increased by 30 years and, since 2007, there have been more people over the state pension age in Britain than children. We are healthier too, meaning more of us will enjoy an active and independent retirement lasting many years”. McCarthy & Stone Retirement Living offers independence combined with the peace of mind additional security, low maintenance and companionship can bring. All properties come

with 24 hour emergency call points, electrical sockets at a raised height to reduce bending, illuminated light switches, video entry system, easy grip lever taps in the bathroom and kitchen and energy efficient heating. Residents can also enjoy maintained gardens, socialise in the communal lounge and invite family or friends to stay in the development’s hotel-style guest suite. McCarthy & Stone retirement developments can also benefit the community. Our sites are often located in town and city centres which means they make better use of existing urban sites. Having centrally located retirement developments can contribute to the sustainability of local communities on a number of levels. Residents are able to stay close to family and friends or return to areas they have long known or aspire to; bringing inward investment. Residents often shop locally and use public transport and local amenities, so help benefit the local economy. Mr Secker continues: “There comes a time when we all have to make a decision. Staying in the family home and adapting it to meet changing needs is not always the best option for everybody. And moving into a care home before that level of support is required can be very upsetting for everyone involved. Retirement developments can bridge the gap between the two giving peace of mind to the resident and their family.” The fact that we are living longer means that demand for new homes is increasing at an

ever faster rate. However, an increase in purpose-built retirement developments would not only better service the needs of the over 60s, but could actually help address the broader issue of housing supply. Mr Secker sums up: “At McCarthy & Stone we believe retirement developments provide the

But to make them more commonplace measures such as ensuring land is released for development, making sure the planning system delivers housing choice for older people and easing regulation, which will all help to increase the availability of specialist retirement accommodation”.
