I attended the first post-launch meeting of the Communications and Publicity working group along with Ian Moore of the Inland Waterways Association.
A waterways festival is being planned for 14th June (provisional date) and AAL would welcome your input, also working on a pack of advice and guidance for people who want to hold public events on or around the waterways.
I also attended the 1st post-launch meeting of the Planning and Policy working group along with Kevin Sunderland of the Aire and Calder Rivers Group and Ian
Discussed: infrastructure, reviewing and improving the waterfront strategy, flood risk management (as reported on my blog a big flood defence capital investment scheme is planned for Leeds which we will be kept informed of via Aire Action Leeds) and other issues were discussed.
Full feedback from the above meetings will be provided at the Keeping an Eye on Leeds March meeting and will be published in the minutes.
I am unable to attend the first meeting post-launch meeting of the Stewardship Working Group. If you have an interest in encouraging, residents, communities and the local workforce to volunteer to improve the river corridor for people and wildlife then we would welcome you attending on our behalf (please confirm with me first so I can arrange a place for you and induct you into our system of representation).
Kevin and Ian will be focussing their efforts on the Planning and Policy working group as they feel this is where their skills are best utilised. If you would like to represent the sector on any of the working groups please contact jon.holland@leedsvoice.org.uk
