As your local MP and local campaigner, we are writing to update you about the issue of the Adel Reformatory and the plans for the replacement of the Adel Secure Unit at the Eastmoor site.

You may have heard the excellent news that the Adel Reformatory buildings have now been granted Grade II listed status.

A company called Helpmates Limited has been putting flyers through letterboxes asking for donations of clothes, shoes and other items which can be left on doorsteps and then sent to the Third World.

Although not explicitly claiming to be a charity, concerns have been raised that the company's literature might make people think they are giving to a charitable organisation.  Check out this link for further details.  Here is the Westminster debate details

Leeds City Council have gone live today(11th February 2010) with their new Public Access.  This is the system which gives access to the planning application information and documents over the internet.  This new system has a lot of improved features including:

The Project has been on hold for the last two months.  The land is currently partly owned by WNWHL and part by the Council's Parks and Leisure Dept and we need authorisation from both to proceed with the project.

Initial meetings had indicated their support but following representations from Adel Crag Association to WNWHL we have had a number of other meetings to try to resolve the issues they have raised.

I have been advised today that an appeal has been received by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government from David Wilson Homes for the site north of Holt Avenue (ref. no. APP/N4720/A/09/2119622. This appeal will be dealt with by Public Inquiry and I will contact you later with the exact date and time of the public inquiry.

If you have commented on this application before your comments will be forwarded to the Planning Inspectorate and taken into account unless marked confidential, or withdrawn.
