Moortown Weather Update: Misty Mornings and Rainy Evenings

Brace yourselves for a misty start with temperatures hovering around 9°C. The mist should clear by mid-morning, paving the way for a partly cloudy but warming day, peaking at 17°C by mid-afternoon.

However, keep your umbrellas handy as the likelihood of rain increases significantly after 4 PM, turning our partly sunny day into a damp evening.

The showers are expected to taper off after 9 PM, leading to a clear but cool night with temperatures dropping to 11°C by midnight. Stay dry and enjoy the day!

Hunslet Parents Protest Nursery Closures

Parents are mobilising against the proposed closure and privatisation of Little Owls nurseries in Hunslet, among others in Leeds.

Displeased with the council's consultation process, they are organising protests and demanding more accessible consultation times.

They argue that the council's initial plan lacked proper parent engagement.

Amidst these tensions, proposed closures have been delayed until August as the community continues to push for transparent and inclusive decision-making processes. Further actions are planned to oppose these changes.
