Paul Lilley, deputy manager of the Bramley Neighbourhood Housing Office, said: "It was a good community scheme and a lot of people were involved in it. We hope that it will have a lasting impact on the estate."
Akbar Khan, manager of the Bramley Neighbourhood Housing Office, added: "It is a hard to reach community and we wanted to bring back some reassurance and quality of life to residents.
"There is a lot of reluctance to report anti-social behaviour and criminal damage in this deprived inner city area, but this scheme went really well."
The Broadlea community will hold a special community fun day tomorrow (Friday) at 15-17 Broadlea Hill from 11am-4pm.
The Lord Mayor of Leeds will officially open the event and there will be a number of stalls, refreshments, activities and a community barbecue.
