Dear Readers

By the time this magazine drops through your door, we hope the weather will have sorted itself out so everyone can enjoy the numerous festivals and fairs that are planned for the next couple of months! In this edition, Allerton High support Shelterbox, celebrates success in the LEAP Awards and enjoys the Lab in a Lorry programme. Councillor Richard Harker urges people to read the Leeds Climate Change Strategy; and Leeds Community Trust puts out a call for more donations of items to sell. Read, too, about the various festivals coming up; the bus service to The Dales; and medal winners at the Chelsea Flower Show. Every month we get phone calls, letters and emails from readers with various queries and we do our best to answer them all. A number of these, we feel, could have interested other readers too - so, we are going to introduce a ‘Letters Page’ in the September edition. Every month we will print a selection of your letters, and there will be a ‘Star Letter’ which will receive a prize!

If you haven’t tried Blink yet, give it a go - hundreds of you have already. Blink is a super way to link business to the community and it is exclusive to the North Leeds area. See page ?? for more information. Don’t forget our new Letters Page in September. Write to us by the deadline on 1st August and yours could be one of the featured letters. Kind regards.
