CONTACT: Bhupinder Dev
TELEPHONE: 07905 675150
BASE: Moortown Community Group, Po Box 422, Leeds, LS17 7HN.
EMAIL: Moortowncommunitygroup@hotmail.co.ukWEBSITE: http://sites.google.com/site/moortowncommunitygroup/OTHER INFORMATION:* The groups's founding members were united by a feeling that Moortown residents would be better able to influence decisions on planning and other Council service areas through active work with local residents, elected Councillors and Leeds City Council Officers to ensure that the essential character of the Moortown area is protected and enhanced for present and future generations. This will be achieved by working closely with local residents and businesses to actively influence major developments and provision of services in the area.
* One of its objectives is to produce a Neighbourhood Design Statement (NDS) for Moortown which can be adopted by Leeds City Council as a Supplementary Planning Document for the area. Design Statements set out not to resolve individual specific planning problems of residents but rather to set down principles for the guidance of developers and planners, an approach successfully used by other like minded voluntary groups such as Adel Association, Far Headingley Village Society, Roundhay Planning Forum and Chapel Allerton Neighbourhood Plan Group (CANPlan).
* Other projects which MCG will be taking forward over the coming months include a 'Moortown in Bloom Project' and a 'Moortown Litter Action Project'.
