November 2020 Dear Parents/Carers HA1 and HA2 Bus Services Dear

Wakefield Road, Horbury, Wakefield West Yorkshire November 2020 WF4 5HE 01924 282740 [email protected] Dear Parents/Carers horbury.accordmat.org Principal: Mrs N Walker HA1 and HA2 bus services Dear Parent, As you will know, since September there has been a duplicate bus service operating the HA1 and HA2 service alongside the usual Arriva public service buses. These duplicate services are run by private bus companies – HA1 is run by Station Coaches and HA2 by Globe Coaches. We have recently been informed by West Yorkshire Metro that the Arriva public service buses have been temporarily withdrawn until at least Christmas, this means that the duplicate services will now become the main service. As a result, I am writing to you to advise that for the foreseeable future we are suggesting that students who use the buses should bring cash with them to pay for their travel, although we have been advised by Metro that all current tickets and passes will continue to be valid on these duplicate services. Please be reassured that as a school we are doing everything we can to ensure that travel to and from school is as efficient as possible and are in constant communication with Metro. That said, we are not in control of the decisions made by the coordinators of the services and as such cannot make any changes to the bus services which run to and from the Academy. If you have any questions regarding these services please refer to the website: https://www.wymetro.com/schools or contact Education transport on 0113 348 1122 or EducationCustomerServices@westyorks- ca.gov.uk Yours sincerely, Mr B Gilder Vice Principal .

May 2021 FOI 2387-21 Drink Spiking
Our ref: 2387/21 Figures for incidents of drink spiking in your region over the last 5 years (year by year) I would appreciate it if the figures can be broken down to the nearest city/town. Can you also tell me the number of prosecutions there have been for the above offences and how many of those resulted in a conviction? Please see the attached document. West Yorkshire Police receive reports of crimes that have occurred following a victim having their drink spiked, crimes such as rape, sexual assault, violence with or without injury and theft. West Yorkshire Police take all offences seriously and will ensure that all reports are investigated. Specifically for victims of rape and serious sexual offences, depending on when the offence occurred, they would be offered an examination at our Sexual Assault Referral Centre, where forensic samples, including a blood sample for toxicology can be taken, with the victim’s consent, if within the timeframes and guidance from the Faculty for Forensic and Legal Medicine. West Yorkshire Police work with support agencies to ensure that all victims of crime are offered support through the criminal justice process, including specialist support such as from Independent Sexual Violence Advisors. Recorded crime relating to spiked drinks, 01/01/2016 to 31/12/2020 Notes Data represents the number of crimes recorded during the period which: - were not subsequently cancelled - contain the search term %DR_NK%SPIK% or %SPIK%DR_NK% within the crime notes, crime summary and/or MO - specifically related to a drug/poison/other noxious substance having been placed in a drink No restrictions were placed on the type of drink, the type of drug/poison or the motivation behind the act (i.e.

Wearing of Face Masks on Buses
Face coverings on school buses Wearing a face covering on school buses will become a condition of travel from Monday 21 September 2020. When schools returned earlier this month, face coverings were strongly recommended for all students from the age of 11 (unless they are medically exempt). However, due to many buses now running at full capacity, including standing passengers, and many students not following this recommendation it has now become necessary to make it a condition of travel. This change brings school buses in line with the main network buses where face coverings are already a condition of travel. From Monday 21 September, any student boarding a school bus will be asked to wear a face covering. Those that do not have one can purchase a disposable mask from the driver for 60p. Any student who is medically exempt from wearing a face covering can apply for an exemption card by contacting their school or the customer service desk at Liberation Station. Face coverings for students under the age of 11 remains optional. Kevin Hart, Director for LibertyBus has said: “We’ve monitored bus capacities over the first few weeks of term and have found that many are now running at full capacity. We had hoped that by strongly recommending face coverings on school buses the majority of students would comply, but unfortunately this has not been the case and its become necessary to enforce this more strongly.” “For the first few weeks of the new regulations we will be helping to ensure every student has a face covering and masks will be given for free to anyone who does not have the funds to pay for one.

THE HISTORY of CLARENDON VILLAS FOREWORD Whilst Researching the Material for My First
THE HISTORY OF CLARENDON VILLAS FOREWORD Whilst researching the material for my first ‘House History’ project, ‘Highfield House & Sowood House’, (2010), I collected a great deal of information concerning other neighbouring land and buildings. After a great deal of thought I decided it was a shame not to make use of this material. The result of this decision was the production of two more Local/House History publications. My second project ‘The History of the South Ossett Triangle’ is a potted history of the land shaped like a triangle, bordered by three roads, now called Horbury Road, Manor Road and Sowood Lane. On this land was built the Parish Church, the Vicarage and the two Schools. This third project I have called ‘The History of Clarendon Villas and Greystones House’. These two new books (along with the Highfield and Sowood House one) complete a Trilogy of publications covering all the large houses as well as the Ecclesiastical Buildings on this area of land, built in the 19th Century. Clarendon Villas, is situated on Horbury Road, up the next driveway to Highfield House & Cottage. (Access is now from Vicar Lane) The bottom of the garden of Greystones House backed onto the garden of Highfield Cottage. The daughter of the family who lived in part of Highfield House, Gwen Hopkins, married John Judge and they bought No 18b (which included the garden) of Greystones. My parents allowed Gwen to come into our garden and pass through our garage in order to visit her parents, thus saving about a half mile journey! I have tried my best to verify all the information used in this publication but mistakes do happen and I crave your indulgence for any that may have been made.

GNER Cleethorpes
Wellington House 40-50 Wellington Street Leeds LS1 2DE 28th March 2014 Rachel Gilliland Customer Relationship Executive Network Rail 4th Floor Kings Place York Way London N1 9AG Dear Rachel, REF. SECTION 17 PROPOSEDTRACK ACCESS CONTRACT: (ALLIANCE RAIL HOLDINGS - GREAT NORTH EASTERN RAILWAY) I write in response to the above mentioned consultation. Metro has had constructive dialogue with Alliance Rail in the recent past on its GNER proposal, including for investment in station facilities/a new strategic park and ride rail facility in the east of Leeds rail corridor. Metro is in principle supportive of the Alliance Rail proposal to run direct services between Bradford Forster Square/Ilkley and London, however is not in a position to support the specific proposal at this time, due to a number of questions we have, and a particular timing issue as outlined below. • The Leeds City Region Transport Strategy highlights the need for improved connectivity between the City Region and London to support the economic future of our region. As a major and growing city, Bradford has relatively poor connectivity with London when compared to other cities of equivalent size. Indeed the emerging evidence from the work of the East Coast Main Line (ECML) Authorities grouping, of which Metro is part, suggests that of all the “off-route” destinations served by Long Distance High Speed (LDHS) services, improving connectivity between Bradford and London would deliver a very high level of economic benefit to UK Plc. • Metro is also currently the promoter of 3 new stations in West Yorkshire, including at Kirkstall Forge, which is a major brownfield land regeneration site in the City of Leeds.
