|  | | | Editorial Comment | | WiFi Garforth | Project Cirrus, courtesy of the School Partnership Trust and Leeds Learning Network, is to provide broadband wireless internet access to all families with children at any one of the member schools of the Trust. They will provide 125 access points throughout the town enabling the filtered internet access currently available in local schools to be accessed at home, free of charge. Whilst there are the obvious big brother concerns about who decides what is filtered out and whether access is restricted to member schools or freely available to all local residents and businesses (who are almost certainly paying for it), the Trust and the council are to be applauded for an idea that should be hugely beneficial to the community.
| | 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.

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 |
