The chapel has been taken out of the October auction, but it is not safe yet.

Thank you to everyone who has signed and shared. Together our two petitions now have more than 1,000 signatures, and it is making a difference.

Harehills Cemetery Chapel was due to be sold at auction on 29 October. Following campaigning by local residents and the intervention of ward councillors, it has been taken out of that auction.

But it has only been postponed, not withdrawn from sale. The auctioneer has told us they are waiting for the council’s instructions, so the chapel could still be put up for sale in November or at any time after that.

So please keep signing and sharing. The more of us there are, the harder it is to ignore the community. We’ll be in touch soon with news of what happens next.
