I've just wrapped up my first residents' drop-in session at the new TURA development in Leeds City Centre. It was incredibly busy for a first session, and I spoke with people about various concerns from start to finish

Cllr Paul Wray @paulwrayuk.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Things like this are so deeply frustrating. It messes up our communities and costs the taxpayer money to clear. For those who can get to them, our recycling centres accept textile-based waste.

WAR MEMORIAL CLEANING For a number of years, I've had the ambition of cleaning our local war memorials to show respect to our honoured dead. Unfortunately, the cost from the private sector has always been extremely prohibitive.
