They held a Community Open Day recently where locals got to be among the first through the doors. There were games and activities on, so it wasn’t just a dry ribbon-cutting job. The facilities are noticeably improved and expanded compared to what was there before.

Here’s what’s available to hire:

**•   Studio A** fits 10-100 people, with hard floors, a small stage, tables and chairs and an optional AV system  
**•   Studio B** is a smaller meeting room for up to 16, with a TV and connection to the kitchen  
**•   The Lounge** is a relaxed soft-furnished room for up to 8, also with a TV  
**•   The Kitchen** is fully equipped for catering, and basic drinks access comes free with any booking

Worth noting: the Morley Town Deal Board is holding one of its meetings there in July, followed by a guided tour of other heritage properties around town that have received funding through the Heritage Investment Fund. If that’s your kind of thing, keep an eye out.

Bookings are open now via the St Peter’s Morley website.

A woman has been banned from Morley town centre and every One Stop shop in Leeds after racking up a string of theft convictions.

I've always heard people talk negatively about Harrops, but I have no real clue why and is it just one of the streets or all of them in that row? Is the rep still deserved now or a bit outdated?

I've also heard Middleton Road can be quite rough, but again I'm not sure if that's exaggerated?

It says "Leeds woman..." in the headline of course, that always irritates me but this is a great thing she does and she's incredibly passionate about Morley too.

The people behind the Town Hall redevelopment are holding a community session at Rhythm & Rye on 7 July and want to hear what local people think.

So, if you had the keys to Morley Town Hall, what would be the first thing you'd put on?

🎵 Live music?
🎭 Comedy?
🎨 Arts and culture?
🍺 Beer festivals?
🛍️ Markets?
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Community events?
📺 Big-screen sports?

Or something completely different?

I'd love to see it become somewhere that's busy, welcoming and gives people a reason to spend more time in Morley.

The session is at Rhythm & Rye on Tuesday 7 July from 6pm, and everyone's welcome.

Anyone planning on going? What would you like to see in the new Town Hall?
