Tuesday 30th April 2024

Morning Glory: A bit of a cloudy curtain call early on with temps around a crisp 9°C, but the sun muscles through by midday, warming things up to a snug 16°C.

Sun-Soaked Afternoon: Absolutely sunglasses territory as the afternoon beams with bright skies and a peak of 18°C – SPF wouldn't be a bad idea if you're out and about!

Evening Drips: Keep an eye out around 4 PM onwards – the clouds roll in with a chance of rain. It's not a downpour, but a sprinkle is on the cards until dusk.

Starry Night: Clearing skies later for a stellar night, though it’s getting cooler, dipping to 12°C. So, maybe a light jacket for those late strolls!

Is Moortown the Most Expensive Place to Buy a House in Leeds?

Just a quick nudge about the buzz in our own backyard—homes in Moortown are fetching some of the heftiest prices in Leeds, with the average house costing about £330,300.

Not too shabby for our cosy corner of the city, right?

Neighbouring areas such as Gledhow and Alwoodley boast even higher median prices, at £389,500 and £406,000 respectively, reflecting their desirability. Roundhay West goes further up the scale with properties averaging £410,000.

It seems we're in good company with some of the most sought-after spots to live around Leeds!

Results Roundup And Upcoming Games/Events

North Leeds FC

An amazing 5-1 win over Leeds City IV has strengthened North Leeds’ position in gaining the first spot position. Currently, as it stands North Leeds is in 2nd position with 45 points and Farnley Sports is 1st with 49 points but an extra game has been played over North Leeds.

Farnley has also had what could be seen as promising scores in their past few games for North Leeds FC with DLD. With not many games remaining we hope North Leeds FC can keep the momentum going!

North Leeds FC and their next game is actually today! They are facing Ryburn United Academy in the division so we hope that this game gives them the points they need. Kickoff is at 6:30 PM.

North Leeds Leopards

After a brilliant string of results and an amazing streak, unfortunately in a cup game on Saturday, North Leeds Leopards lost in a close game against Guiseley Rangers with the score being 10-18.

No matter, win or lose we know the Leopards gave it their best and still came out with a score to be proud of and are now looking forward to their next game.

Moortown Golf Club

Starting today the Moortown Spring AMAM Open commences. The registration is now closed but the event is hosting 48 golfers which should prove to be an interesting event.

Have a great day!
