| | | Editorial Comment | | 2008-08-24 Fewer, Dearer, Later | Thus goes the city council’s creed with its proposal to close half a dozen leisure facilities, including the Kippax and Garforth leisure centres, at a time of unprecedented British success in Beijing and in the countdown to the 2012 London Olympics, astonishingly badly timed and out of touch with the mood of the country. | | 2008-07-24 Park and Ride Salvation | East Leeds Parkway, a proposed park and ride facility near Micklefield, mooted on this website back in April 2007, will have a profound affect on local communities. For those villages without a railway station it will create a convenient, purpose-built rail access point. For those communities with stations it will ease the current associated congestion. In Garforth it will reduce pressure on the station car park and surrounding streets, it will free up parking spaces on Main Street, reduce through traffic in the town and improve the train service into Leeds for commuters. Roll on 2011. | | 2008-07-02 Blown Down But Not Out | For the second year running a local carnival event has suffered from freak summer weather conditions and had to be called off. Kippax Carnival organisers were able to salvage a small number of events and should be congratulated on their months of hard work despite being thwarted by events beyond their control. They will bounce back to produce an even better event next year. | | |
