Tenants Federation Celebrates Local Heroes
The
West Yorkshire Playhouse was “packed with local heroes” for
Leeds Tenants Federation’s high-profile Taking a Stand event.
Around 250 people attended the Taking a Stand event in the Courtyard Theatre of West Yorkshire Playhouse on Tuesday 6 July.
The packed theatre heard inspiring and heroic presentations from local residents who have reclaimed their neighbourhoods and fought back against intimidation, arson, vandalism and destruction.
Michael Hall, chair of Leeds Tenants Federation said he hoped the success of the event would encourage residents to speak out against anti-social behaviour and to work together to reclaim our communities.
Organised by Leeds Tenants Federation and Leeds Community Safety Partnership, the event aimed to launch the national Taking a Stand Awards and celebrate the people who are standing up to anti-social behaviour in our communities. Yorkshire Evening Post editor, Neil Hodgkinson whose newspaper has led a campaign against yob culture, chaired the morning conference.
