ROTHWELL TRADESMEN

w

We are a group of Local Tradesmen with a vast amount of experience between us, who have worked alongside each other over many years on various projects. It’s because of our individual beliefs in quality of work & commitment to our customers (and lack of these beliefs in some of the cowboys we’ve worked with in the past) that we decided to join forces and become a ‘One Call Does it All’ company. Whatever building work you need doing, with the Rothwell Tradesmen you will only have one person to deal with from the start through to completion. Below is a list of some of our services but if you need a job doing that’s not listed then please give us a call.

Kitchens & Bathrooms (Free estimates & C.A.D. design) All aspects of Joinery, Plumbing & Electricals uPVC Windows, Doors, Sofits, Facias & Guttering Full or Part Glazing Replacement Service Our tradesmen are fully qualified and certificated.

Together Life’s Happier

Royal Voluntary Service is one of the largest volunteer organisations in the country. Our volunteers love sharing time with older people because it’s enjoyable, rewarding and inspiring.

Wakefield Good Neighbours is currently seeking volunteers to help older people in local communities throughout the Wakefield district.

You can help us to support older vulnerable people who are isolated and lonely by providing friendly social contact for a minimum of one hour per week. This can be to offer practical support such as collecting a prescription, assisting with shopping, helping someone to maintain or start a hobby or simply popping in for a chat and a coffee.

You will be offered training, expenses, the chance to gain skills and experience and the knowledge that you are doing something rewarding.

If you would like to be part of this valuable and worthwhile service please contact us on 01924 446100 or 01977 696840 or email: westyorkshirehub@royalvoluntaryservice.org.uk we would love to hear from you!

ROBIN HOOD RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION Points of Meeting held on Thursday, 8 January 2015 LCC HIGHWAYS JT addressed the Members attending and gave the outcome of the meeting held with Members of RHRA, Cllr Karen Renshaw and Leeds City Council Highways. This followed the trial that was carried out on Copley Lane.

The Highways Officer stated that at this point in time there were no definitive recommendations. These would be made available as and when the results of the trial were looked at which would then indicate what if any measures needed to be taken. He also stated that no decisions would be made to any alterations to the road network until such time as a full consultation was held with all local residents, Police and Local Councillors.

CRIME Two burglaries to dwellings. One Fairfield Gardens – man arrested and sent back to prison. Wakefield Road, 2 bikes stolen. Investigations on-going. Five Burglaries others, sheds etc. Two in Hopefield Croft, one Leeds Road, two Middleton Avenue. Local Haulage yard broken into. There were a number of domestic related offences. Cannabis plants found Danby Court. Vehicle Registration plates removed from car in Hopefield Croft and damage to a vehicle which was a targeted incident. Traffic sign removed from Bus Stop area on Leadwell Lane which stated “No Stopping”. Highways are aware and will replace.

Parking adjacent to One Stop Shop, Leadwell Lane.

A general discussion took place regarding the traffic on Leadwell Lane. This had been impacted due to 2 signs being removed, one from the road adjacent to the One Stop which restricted parking and one from the Bus Stop which stated “no stopping”. Many Members voiced their concerns and opinions in respect of this.

There were many suggestions made by Members present to try and rectify the traffic problems. It was agreed whatever measures are to be put into place they would be ineffective unless enforced. A Member asked if the One Stop Shop could adopt the same system as the Tesco store in Outwood whereby they place cones to allow delivery vehicles to park directly outside. PC Rowlinson agreed to speak to the Management of One Stop. It was agreed that the only way forward was for a meeting to be convened between LCC Highways, the Police, local Councillors and members of the community.

ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES KR stated that David Gommersall has now been moved to the City Centre. She said she would contact the new Environmental Officer for this area with an invite to attend the next meeting. It was noted that the land on the A61 is still in obeyance regarding ownership and this must be taken up by the new Environmental Officer.

COUNCIL MATTERS. It has been reported that young people leaving school have difficulties writing good CVs. KR is trying to identify what the scale of the problem is and if it applies to all schools or is limited to individual schools. Community Safety Information Booklets were handed to Members attending. A planning application had been submitted on the Leeds Road to demolish a shop/stables and erect residential properties. Reaching out to elderly and vulnerable people and issuing Wellbeing Packs via local community groups. New Fire Station in Rothwell opening soon. An invitation will be sent for a Member from the Fire Services to attend the meeting in March. New development plans are now available on the internet. A vote of thanks was recorded to Cllr Karen Renshaw and Cllr Lisa Mulherin for all the support and hard work given to the group through the previous year.

JULIE HOLMES, TENANT INVOLVEMENT OFFICER, HOUSING LEEDS. The Housing Advisory Panel have now ordered the noticeboard which is destined to be placed outside the Community Centre, Leadwell Lane. The new Housing Manager is Daniel Massey and it is hoped he will attend the February meeting. There are still Crime Prevention Packs and Wellbeing Packs available for isolated and vulnerable residents. Doctors and Health Centres have been asked to work in conjunction with LCC to identify these people. A Member asked why the noticeboard was being located in the Community Centre. He asked if this could be placed more centrally in Robin Hood as there is already one on Copley Lane. Julie asked the Committee to look at areas that were LCC controlled and give a suggested site at the next meeting. A vote of thanks was recorded for all the hard work Julie did during the previous year.

CHRISTMAS EVENT A Member stated that he had many people stating how well the Christmas Event was run. JT stated that as far as we were concerned it was a huge success and gave her thanks to all Volunteers. If you want to have your say about what happens in your community, you are welcome at the next meeting. The next meeting will be held on Thursday, 12 February 2015 at 7.00pm Venue: Northfield Community Centre, Northfield Place, Off Leadwell Lane, Robin Hood, Wakefield.

The Committee would like to wish all residents a very happy New Year - Denis Manning - Secretary

Why should you install a Resin Drive?

That’s simple; our product naturally drains water through the finished surface which means no more puddles.

It is also resistant to frost attack, hence giving it all round better traction for tyres and making it better for walking on. Last but not least its up to 10 times more eco friendly than concrete. And don’t forget, we have a great colour range to choose from to give it your personal touch!

Or Try Our New Overlay System If your budget doesn’t quite stretch to a full Resin Drive install then why not try our new super cost effective Overlay System?
