Morley & District Press

Due to recent events, all activities that we run will be closed until further notice.

You should stay at home, self-isolating, for 7 days if you have either: • a high temperature • a new, continuous cough If you have these symptoms do NOT need to go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital & do not need to contact 111.

Yesterday, I met with @MattHancock and other Conservative West Yorkshire MPs to discuss #Coronavirus preparations. The Government is doing everything they can, guided by science and will support workers and business. We can play our part by washing hands regularly.

We’re looking for more adults to join our team of cub leaders. Could this be you? Get in touch to find out more about flexible volunteering opportunities with our two cub packs @CYScouts @slamscouts @DellamarieJ

𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐋𝐄𝐘 & 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐓 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄: From next week, the Morley & District Press is switching to a Friday on-sale date, from the current Wednesday. Please see our full story below for details: :-)

ON SALE WEDNESDAY: In The Morley & District Press, campaigners are elated after plans to build 300 homes in ancient woodland were thrown out, town councillors say there is no issue with parking, and Morley memorabilia is set to go under the hammer. Plus lots more inside!

Ok so we won may not have been quite the right words but all I could think of at the time. We won this Battle. It was unanimous with the panel to refuse. It will either be appealed or reappear in another guise. But for now we are claiming this a win for West Ardsley. We did it!!!

Having a look through today's @PressMorley 🗞 Tomorrow is the big day for @HaighHelp, I implore Leeds City Council to make the right decision and block this inappropriate development that goes entirely against the views of local people.

ON SALE WEDNESDAY: A quick look at the front and back pages of your Morley & District Press this week. You can pick up a copy from all local news outlets, priced 70p from tomorrow morning.

My regular column in today's @PressMorley covers #Drighlington library 📚, the #BigBrexitBash 🇬🇧, and my regular #MemoryCafe ☕ Take a look! 👇👀👇👀👇👀👇

The full programme is now confirmed for the @GrimethorpeBand performing at Morley Town Hall on Sat 8 Feb featuring Sondheim's Send in the Clowns, Gershwin's Someone to Watch Over Me, Ellington's Caravan and Londonderry Air. Tickets: bit.ly/2TMVLLW
