A new Council Area Manager hopes to improve local leaf clearing this autumn.
With autumn starting early leaf clearing is likely to be an issue throughout the next few months. With Alwoodley one of the leafiest wards in the city there is much work to do.

Councillor Dan Cohen said, “Last year the service was not up to standard. This year I’m delighted to say that we have an excellent manager covering environmental services in our area who is overseeing a huge review of the long failing cleaning services in the area.”
Alwoodley Councillors have supplied a list of the streets which are usually worst affected. Councillor Peter Harrand explained “We can never collect all the leaves, the cost would be enormous, but I want to overcome the weaknesses we saw last year and I’m confident our new Area Manager will do all he can to improve things.”
