Our five year ambitions include XXX (different ambitions to run along the top of each page) Foreword [To include: signature/s. Produce foreword in film / animation] Stronger, better, healthier together Since our Partnership began in 2016, we have worked hard to build health and care relationships locally and across West Yorkshire and Harrogate so we can improve people’s lives with and for them. We are pleased with the start we have made. The right principles and values are in place to guide us and we are keen to make sure we join the dots so when people experience care, advice and support it feels easier and is joined up for the better. We know that more needs to be done to give everyone the very best start and every chance to live a long and healthy life. When you read our Plan, you will see why this is very important. To have the greatest chance of achieving the very best for people’s health and wellbeing, we need to think and work differently with each other and within our communities. We are including more community partners in our conversations and are listening better to what staff and local people have to say. Now is the time to take this to a whole new level so that everyone in West Yorkshire and Harrogate is part of our journey. Our Five Year Plan tells the story of how we are going to do this together. It is also our response to the NHS Long Term Plan. Our campaign ‘Looking out for our neighbours’ is a great example of how our staff, partners and communities are already making a positive difference through simple acts of kindness – we are stronger, better, and healthier together. They have touched the lives of over 46,000 people. You can read the evaluation report here. Proud to be a partnership We are happy to be working together in our six local areas (Bradford District and Craven; Calderdale, Harrogate, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield) and are proud to be part of the West Yorkshire and Harrogate Partnership. Our relationships are very important to us because we will only make a positive change when there is a strong commitment by all to do so and there is. We have already come a long way and our journey continues to break down the organisational and geographical barriers that sometimes get in the way of giving people the best care possible. As partners we are having better conversations with one another. We do however, need to get better at talking with people about what they want and need. Our conversations with communities will continue to grow; they often know far better than us what keeps them happy, healthy and well. Together we want to reduce unnecessary costs, by stopping things that don’t meet people’s physical and / or mental health needs together or make them feel any better. We need to rethink how we can continually improve and free up money to re-invest in our community partners. There are some great examples in this Plan to show you what we mean. We also want to make the best use of staff time and make West Yorkshire and Harrogate the best place to live and work. This is very important to us all. 4 West Yorkshire and Harrogate is made up of six local places: Bradford District and Craven; Calderdale, Harrogate, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield. Our five year ambitions include XXX (different ambitions to run along the top of each page) Our story This Plan belongs to us all; it covers neighbourhood activities, rural communities, busy towns and vibrant cities. Above all it sets out what we need to do in our local areas and how our Partnership will help through working together. When reading our Plan what we hope you will see

  • Swaledale and Arkengarthdale
    Swaledale and Arkengarthdale + Physical Influences The present day landscape of Swaledale combines geology and glacial history with the work of the many generations of settlers who farmed the dale and the industrial legacy of the leadmining industry. The geology of Swaledale and Arkengarthdale is dominated by the Yoredale series of rocks, clearly visible on the valley sides as a repeating pattern of banded rock outcrops or steeper slopes of hard limestone and gritstone interspersed by broader more gentle slopes formed by the less resistant shales. Dale side gills often cut a stepped pattern as they cross the alternating hard sandstones and limestones, for example at Gunnerside and Swinner Gills. Within the Yoredale series, which tilt 10° to the north east, there are seven limestones, the lowest exposed being the Hardraw limestone on which Feetham is built. The Yoredale limestones are thinner and darker in appearance than the Great Scar limestone that outcrops further south. As each of the Yoredale limestones is relatively thin (most are less than 20m thick), Swaledale does not include the type of scenery that is found in the limestone country further south, and there are few potholes, caves and underground passages. However, at the top the series of Yoredale rocks, Main limestone is found in a prominent band, averaging 23m in thickness to a maximum 40m thickness on Kisdon and is responsible for several prominent scars and limestone features such as the limestone cliffs on Cotterby Scar near Keld, Kisdon and Ivelet scars above Muker and the high scar of Fremington Edge. The influence of limestone is visible in the vegetation type of the dale sides, limestone supporting brighter green, species rich grasslands in contrast with the coarser grasses on sandstones and shales.
