Located between the Parish Church and the river Aire, Langtons was one of the first riverside redevelopments in Leeds City centre. This website was set up in July 2010 to make it easier for residents, and others with an interest in the property, to communicate.

News from the Neighbourhood Policing Team
Theft of push bikes in the City has risen, partly down to a natural seasonal increase at this time of year. However residents and commuters need to remember to use substantial locks and to secure their bikes in designated area’s to keep their property safe. But due to a large amount of work completed in ‘hot spot area’s’ and a number of excellent arrest there has been a significant reduction in vehicle offences.
City NPT will be conducting their monthly Partners and Community meeting at 7 p.m. this Wednesday the 2nd of May at Leeds Parish Church Visitors Centre, Kirkgate. Officers and local agency representatives will be available to discuss local issues, set priorities and to answer general Policing and Community based questions.
Everyone is welcome to express their views to how the City Centre is Policed and managed. If you’ve recently moved into Langtons and haven’t crossed the churchyard to one of these meetings, do pop in if you can.

External Redecoration: Stage 1 of the consultation
Langtons is due for external redecoration this year. As this includes all the window and balcony door frames, and all the blue paintwork, the cost of the work means that there has to be consultation with the flat owners. The first step in the process is to ask for comments and to find out if any owners want to propose a company that Action should approach for a quote. The specification for the work to be covered by the quote is available in the ‘Documents’ section of this website.
Americo Motors
I think we have the best garage in the world just up The Calls. Our 15 year old car was firing badly, using loads more fuel than usual and rusting away round the back wheels and bumper. We left her with Americo Motors while on holiday and got her back today. It’s like having a new car (she’s the Megane in space 45). The garage is run by an Italian family that love cars. The service is always personal and often includes pre and post photos or a viewing of parts that had to be replaced because they could not be fixed.

Replacements for bathroom fans
The fan in our bathroom is taking a long time to get up to speed and will probably need replacing soon. I guess it is getting on for 20 years old so maybe this is not surprising. I asked if anyone had any advice on replacements and Joseph from the centre block said he wasn’t able to source a replacement for the original fan as Greenwoods discontinued the model years ago. His builder replaced it with a smaller standard model.
If anyone else has fan replacement advice, please use the ‘Contact us’ button to share it! Lizzi
