PROPOSAL TO CHANGE LAODING BAY IN GEORGE STREET TO TAXI RANK
Subject: PROPOSAL TO CHANGE LAODING BAY IN GEORGE STREET TO TAXI RANK
We have recently discovered that LCC propose to change the use of the loading bay outside the theatre to a taxi rank between the hours of 6pm to 8am. Obviously this would cause problems for us getting access to the goods lift to get set etc into the theatre.
The theatre and units within the Electric Press have all raised objections to this proposal and I would ask that as many of you as possible also object to this proposal.
For ease I have attached a pro forma of a letter based on the objections the theatre has raised. I would appreciate it if you could either e-mail their objection to legal.development@leeds.gov.uk or post a copy to Mr J Kipe, Development Section, Legal, Licensing and Registration, Civic Hall, Leeds LS1 1UR.
Objections have to be in by 20th November but I am sure you will be as disturbed about this as I am.
Many Thanks ( Letter below, just cut and paste and add your name and St Mary's Youth Theatre to the bottom and send to legal.fevelopment@leeds.gov.uk ) -
Ref No A76/JAK/871962 – PROPOSAL TO CHANGE USE OF LOADING BAY IN GREAT GEORGE STREET TO TAXI RANK - Proposal No 127
To whom it may concern
As a member of one of the Leeds Civic Arts Guild groups that use the Carriageworks Theatre I am writing to object to the above proposal. We regularly use the loading bay on Great George Street for getting set, furniture and props into the theatre for our shows and are extremely anxious about the proposed exclusive use from 6pm – 8am as a taxi rank.
The only access to the theatre for these activities via the goods lift located at the loading bay on Great George St. Most evenings from the loading bay is being used by visiting theatre companies and ourselves as the residents groups to load and unload. This can take anything from 2 – 4 hrs depending on the size of the production. Parking is already very limited around the Electric Press building and the loading bay is the only option.
Removing the option for anybody that uses the theatre park their vans in the loading bay after 6pm would seriously jeopardize the use of the theatre. It is totally impractical for us to park elsewhere and then carry large pieces of scenery and furniture back and forth to the theatre. Much consideration was given to this very point during the planning and building of the theatre in 2005, hence why the goods lift is located in the loading bay. By changing this loading bay into a Taxi rank would create impossible such barriers to access.
I hope you understand the full implications of the above proposal upon users of the theatre and that you will reconsider your plans.

COAL FACE
13 years after their fantastic success with the World Theatrical premiere of Pit Stop, a musical based on the Yorkshire mining community, St Mary’s Youth Theatre are again about to perform the World Premiere of Coal Face, a one act play by a local young writer called Gareth Durasow. Set against the austere backdrop of the 1940s mining industry, Coal Face is a bleakly comic tale about what happens when “the youth of today” meet the youth of yesteryear.
The war has been won and now Tommy must come to terms with his new life in Garforth; a life that has bid farewell to schoolyard games and is about to see him join the men of iron on the road to Ledston Luck. But for Tommy, the biggest problem isn’t that he’s not from round ‘ere. It’s that he’s from the future!
When Garforth Arts Community Director Dave Evans asked SMYT director Steve Archdale if there was anything they could do for the group Steve suggested the commissioning of a new play based on Garforth’s history. Gareth Durasow was then taken on board to research and write a play for them. Meeting Garforth people he gleamed stories and useful titbits of local folklore appertaining to the post-war mining communities in this area. Using the information he then set about writing a play suitable for the young members of SMYT to perform.
The play will be opening the Garforth Arts Festival on Tuesday 30th June at Garforth Community College. Ticket prices are £5 & £4 concessions and are on sale at Garforth Bookshop, Main Street Garforth.
