Penny Goodman and the Headingley Liberal Democrat team have been out on the doorsteps on Bainbrigge Road, Spring Road, Spring Bank Crescent, The Poplars and Orville Gardens. We spoke to residents about their local concerns, and asked them to fill out a survey showing their priorities for the area.

Issues for residents in this area included cycle safety, anti-social behaviour, recycling and the appalling traffic jams every day from 4pm onwards along the main road. But perhaps the strongest concerns expressed were about the future of the Elinor Lupton Centre.

Wetherspoons, who now own this building, had their licensing application turned down last month, but we understand that they have now appealed against the decision. Residents are concerned that the original decision may be overturned, and in the meanwhile are angry and disappointed that the building has been allowed to become so run down and such a focus for graffiti.

If you have an issue which we can help with, or you would like to get involved in our local campaigning, do get in touch.
