JanineFollowing on from events such as the ‘Knowing the Ground: Care, Politics, Public Safety and Policing the Inner City’ we covered back in February, the police have put together a regular event called a Community Contact Point, which for Harehills will be taking place on Tuesdays every three weeks at the Compton Centre Community Hub, 11am until 12pm.
This is in addition to the Community Contact Point that already takes place at The Old Fire Station Gipton cafe (the next one there is on Thursday, 23rd March).
Community Contact Points are opportunities for PCSO’s to listen to your concerns, understand your priorities, and can offer support, advice and crime prevention information.
For the Harehills Community Contact Points, the dates for the year are as follows:
| Feb-23 to Apr-23 | May-23 to Jul-23 | Aug-23 to Sept-23 | Oct-23 to Dec-23 |
| 14/02/23 | 09/05/23 | 01/08/23 | 03/10/23 |
| 07/03/23 | 30/05/23 | 22/08/23 | 24/10/23 |
| 28/03/23 | 20/06/23 | 12/09/23 | 14/11/23 |
| 18/04/23 | 11/07/23 | 05/12/23 |
Support independent community journalism!
East Side Story covers the people, places and stories in Leeds that are too often overlooked. While national headlines chase conflict and clickbait, we focus on real communities and the issues shaping daily life in East Leeds.
Divisive content, AI noise and online rumours spread faster than ever. At the same time, many mainstream outlets are stretched and rarely spotlight the community organisations and local champions who deserve recognition.
East Side Story was created to change that. We answer only to our readers. We have no corporate owners or billionaire funders. Our journalists report freely, ask difficult questions and hold power to account.
Your support helps us keep this work going. Monthly contributions make the biggest impact because they allow us to invest in deeper reporting and fearless local journalism.
Supporters also receive exclusive updates, behind the scenes insights and other benefits as a thank you for keeping independent journalism alive.
