Awesome day. Gledhow Valley Road blocked off to traffic. Great to see inside the bath house too. Thank you FGVW

The wonderful FGVW have closed the road to see what the local residents think of the road being closed. 100s have turned out. Kids cycling without the threat of being run over - wonderful!

The wonderful FGVW meadow, rescued back in 2016 from being developed for housing. A rare meadow field in the centre of a city.

😀😀 Blimey - what a brilliant day! HUGE thanks to the wonderful organisers & volunteers for your hard work, to Leeds Community Foundation for your funding support, the stall-holders for putting a shift in & to every attendee for joining us in this celebration of a car-free GVR! 😀👍🌳

BAT-CRAZY! We have had an amazing new wetland area created in the woods across the road from KWPR’s northern HQ in that Leeds with bat boxes added to the trees. Next spring/summer we should have newts and toads and all manner of glorious wildlife making Gledhow Valley Woods home!
