Here’s your regular roundup of what’s making South Leeds tick on other websites and blogs.
We covered the furore about Tony Harrison’s poem “V” which was written about Holbeck Cemetery and broadcast on Radio 4 recently. Over in the Yorkshire Evening Post Oliver Cross has written a rather good piece about the poem in his column.
Friends of New Forest Village are planning an Easter Eggstravaganza for Good Friday, they also have a PACT meeting coming up on 5th March at 6:30pm at the St George’s Centre.
Westwood Community Association in Middleton have successfully lobbied for more litter bins, which have been paid for by the local Councillors. They are now discussing where the bins should be sited over on their Facebook Group.

Finally, South Leeds Life’s upcoming meeting about the future of Stank Hall Barn was covered by The Guardian on their Northerner Blog.

You can come and find out if the story is true at the meeting tomorrow (Thursday), at 7:00pm at the Beeston Village Community Centre on St Anthony’s Drive.
