Metro’s plan to enhance ‘grim’ Woodhouse Moor
by Bill
This photograph along with others, is currently being displayed on a giant screen at Waterloo Station. It was taken by local resident Dawn Carey Jones and shows the exact location on Monument Moor that Metro is proposing for a trolleybus stop. The exhibition is called ‘The Big Picture’ and has been organised by Friends of the Earth to highlight the things that make our world amazing. The story behind Dawn’s photograph was the subject of an article in today’s Yorkshire Evening Post.
When Councillor Richard Lewis was interviewed recently by Radio Aire, he described parts of Woodhouse Moor as ‘grim.’ I would like to ask Councillor Lewis which is grimmer, the grass trees and flowers that currently occupy this part of the Moor, or the broad expanse of concrete that will form the raised trolleybus stop that’s being proposed by Metro?
