This area panel has an annual budget for grants against which tenants’ associations can bid for funding for small projects where they live.
Residents of Churchill Flats have been successful in their bid for two new park benches to replace an earlier bench in their communal area that had to be removed because it had become rotten. The new benches are made from recycled plastic to ensure a much longer lifespan will be funded by a grant from the Leeds North West Homes outer area panel that comprises tenants and city councillors.
A second successful Pool bid has come from the residents of Wharfedale Court who want to further improve their communal garden by installing a raised garden bed close to the existing greenhouse for use by residents with wheelchairs or with mobility issues. This will be achieved by creating a flagged area around the raised bed allowing enhanced wheelchair access. The approved £1654 grant will also cover the cost of six water buts with two to be sited at Churchill flats, and a fixed reel hosepipe.
In approving the bid the outer area panel was impressed that an earlier grant to fund the greenhouse had contributed towards the residents’ success as overall winners for the best garden and decorated building at the Pool Jubilee Feast in June.
