For a better debate and a better community..

This is only a brief note to say that we started this blog to provide information, to spark debate and exchange opinions.

There is a lot of work yet to be done and it takes time to get things right. We welcome comments and criticism and we would also welcome contributions from friends and neighbours- just send us your thoughts and ideas either by e-mail or as comments.

I would just like to say that the reason we started this blog and joined the campaign against the incinerator in Leeds, is that we are committed to our area, that we want to see it flourish, that we want to see are communities grow stronger, our environment cleaner and our streets safer- that we love our area and we are willing to work hard to make it a better place to live.

How we are going to accomplish that, it remains to be seen.

Nevertheless, keeping an open mind about things and respecting people's rights to voice an opinion, is probably a good start.
