Milestone for the Leeds WF3 Wombles
One of our volunteers recently picked our 5,000 bag. It’s a huge amount of rubbish in less than 2.5 years. We are so proud of our volunteers and all they do
Well done The Wombles!
Buses in Carlton
Are you, your family or anyone in the village affected by any of the following:
- Only two buses an hour through the village
- No buses into or out of the village in the evening
- Stourton Park and Ride no longer on a Sunday
- Unreliability of public transport.
- Do you feel a regular smaller bus accessing just local places like Rothwell, Oulton. Woodlesford and Lofthouse, especially for shopping, Doctors, dentists etc would be useful, if so how many times a day should it run.
We need your viewpoints to try to take this matter forward. Please contact us using the contact form.
