It’s green for go as household glass collections begin in Leeds

Yorkshire Day this year is green for go in Leeds as household glass collections begin for the first time.

From August 1, residents can put glass into their green household recycling bins so it can be recycled as part of the city’s commitment to the environment and improving recycling rates.

The new service is for any colour of glass bottle or jars, including those for wine, spirits, beer, pop, jam, sauces, coffee jars and spreads. Caps, lids and labels can be left on ready for collection. They can all now go in green household bins along with paper, cardboard, plastic and metal that can already be easily recycled from home.

Brew with a view as Temple Newsam spills the tea on life below stairs

High tea with a difference was served up by staff up at Temple Newsam House this week as the historic mansion prepares to lift the lid on centuries of secrets below stairs.

Members of the house team donned 19th century costumes and took to the rooftop to take tea in style, surrounded by breath-taking views of the sprawling estate.

They were launching a new programme of summer events, giving visitors a taste of what life was like for the generations of servants who lived and worked at Temple Newsam over hundreds of years.

New library opening hours to come following public consultation

A number of Leeds’s libraries will see new opening hours following a public consultation. 

The consultation, which looked at how people use libraries across the city, aimed to find out how the services could help reduce the financial strain on the council.

As community hubs and libraries provide residents with valuable services, the consultation was undertaken to establish ways of saving money whilst impacting residents as little as possible.
