BEESTON HILL ACTIONS UPDATE

We know how important it is for residents to see action on the concerns raised about drugs, antisocial behaviour, and solicitation around Tempest Road.

We're already taking steps to address these issues, and here are some of the initial actions agreed upon:

High-Level Meeting Scheduled: Local Councillors, the Executive Member, senior Safer Leeds officers, and West Yorkshire Police will meet in early August. This will be a crucial discussion to delve into the current issues, review ongoing actions, and plan the next steps needed.

Regular Community Contact Point: We're setting up a face-to-face Contact Point for Beeston Hill residents at Hamara, at least once a month. This will be a dedicated opportunity to speak directly with Safer Leeds and West Yorkshire Police.

Early Morning On-Site Visits: To gather critical information, Safer Leeds, West Yorkshire Police, and I will be conducting initial on-location visits during the early hours of the morning. This is when we're receiving the highest volume of complaints, and these visits will help us understand the situation better.

Clear Communication Plan: We're designing a detailed communication plan to ensure residents know exactly what to report and who to report it to. This will make it easier for you to share information and help us tackle these problems effectively.

These are just the starting points, and a more detailed update will follow. Please know that Council officers, partners, and I are committed to doing more for our community. We will deliver on this promise.
