Leeds City Council will
shortly be making a decision on whether to allow barbecues on
Woodhouse Moor. I sincerely hope the idea will be
stopped in its tracks. The YEP said in April that “it
scarcely credible that Leeds Council…plans to sink dozens of
concrete slabs into the turf” to allow barbecues to continue.
Anyone who has seen the damage that is already being done to the
grass on our much-loved Moor and the rubbish - including glass
bottles - that is strewn everywhere will scarcely believe it
either.
Woodhouse Moor - like all
parks - is a special place. It is there for everyone
to share and enjoy. I suspect that those responsible for the fires
and the mess are somewhat embarrassed by what they are doing, but
that is all the more reason to put a stop to it rather than give it
official blessing. Everyone who cares about the Moor should make
their voice heard now before it is too late.
