John Battle MP Launches Armley Environment Days

John Battle MP with local residentsOn Saturday 2nd April, 3:30pm, local people were joined by John Battle, Labour MP for Leeds West, cleaning up Charley Cake Park on the corner of Armley Town Street and Whingate.

This is the launch of a series of local environmental events cleaning up Armley’s green spaces and recruiting volunteers for Armley Common Right Trust, which own 6 parks in Armley on behalf of all local people.

“I’m very glad to launch this series of environmental clean-ups for the people of Armley,” said Mr Battle. “We’re not only improving our environment today, clearing up litter and taking care of our green spaces, we’re also building community, putting people in touch with their neighbours and with our local history and our common land.”

A series of Environment Action Days for Armley will take place over the next few months starting with this Saturday’s event from 10 til 4 and also on Saturday 7th May 10 til 4, again at Charley Cake Park, when there will be information stalls with an environmental focus and fun activities for the family. On June 4th Armley Walking Group will take a walk around all the pieces of land that belong to the people of Armley – making people more aware of their inheritance.

The events are being supported by West Leeds Environmental Network, a partnership of agencies and local environmental groups who recognize that Armley Common Right Trusts need more help engaging people with their work.
