Welcome to the Autumn 2011 Edition of the Airedale Partnership E-Bulletin Keighley Townscape Heritage Initiative Welcome to the Autumn 2011 edition of the Airedale Partnership e-bulletin Keighley Townscape Heritage Initiative Work to bring out the hidden beauty of Keighley’s architecture will start very soon. The Keighley Townscape Heritage Initiative is a £2.7million grant scheme supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Bradford Council to help building owners repair and improve their properties. The fund is being used for improvements to historic buildings within areas of North Street, Church Street, Bridge Street, High Street and Low Street. Most of these buildings are shops with either offices or flats above. Over the next four years the project will support a programme of repair and restoration including re-roofing, restoration of sash windows and re- instating historic shop fronts. Between 70 and 75% of the building costs will be available through the grant scheme, with the property owners paying the balance. Traditional building techniques will be used, and local contractors with traditional building skills will be able to tender for individual projects. Where buildings are vacant, the grant rate will be worked out on a case by case basis and will include internal renovation works to commercial and residential floor space as well as heritage works. We would welcome proposals from private sector owners who wish to give their properties a lift in terms of both heritage and commercial features. The pavements along North Street will also be re-laid with York stone paving. Alongside the building works, a number of complementary initiatives will go ahead over the next four years. These include heritage training, community activities and craft demonstrations, which will all increase public awareness and enthusiasm for heritage and the local area, and will help people how to look after historic buildings. Sue Oakley, the Townscape Heritage Initiative Officer, said ‘The property owners are very interested in the scheme and I expect the first project to start in September. Townscape Heritage Initiatives are difficult to come by so the people of Keighley are very fortunate and must take advantage of the opportunity.’ If you are interested in the scheme, or you are a contractor who wishes to be included on the specialist contractor list, please contact Sue Oakley on 01274 437495 or [email protected]. Planning application for East Parade submitted by Stainsby Grange A major planning proposal has been submitted for the East Parade area of Keighley at the end of October. This is an application for a major retail development in Keighley Town centre. A series of exhibition days have demonstrated what is intended for the site. If approved, the “Worth Valley Shopping Centre” would be scheduled to open in 2014. It is intended to attract shoppers along East Parade making a shopping area of Cavendish Street, the Airedale Centre and East Parade. An application to demolish buildings on Deal Street and Low St. Mills Keighley is now approved. Sainsbury’s supermarket in Bingley Bradford & Bingley Building Society’s former headquarters in the centre of Bingley will be demolished to accommodate a multi-million pound Sainsbury’s supermarket. At the Shipley Area Planning Panel on Sept 8th it was resolved to grant planning permission for a two-storey store with underground car parking in Main Street Bingley subject to the signing of a legal agreement. The 40,000 sq ft store is expected to create 250 jobs (83 full time and 167 part time). Demolition of Harold Town Building has started Following completion and opening, last autumn, of the new Leeds City College Campus building on Dalton Lane Keighley, the Council has moved to dispose of the redundant Harold Town Building on Chesham St. Keighley. The Council took ownership of the building as part of the land assembly for the building of the new college campus. Demolition will remove the building, which had no viable future use, and create a site for future development. The demolition contract is expected to be completed by March 2012. Shipley Focus’d – new exhibition Shipley Focus’d provides a prominent and attractive feature in Shipley Town centre, re-using the corner retail site between Wellcroft and Shipley Market Square. The penultimate exhibition of 2011 is called "The Light Collectors' who are a group of ten photographers who got together whilst studying at Bradford Photography College. Post-graduation, they continued their association and are presenting a self-titled showcase of their work within the town centre gallery. The eclectic exhibition features a wide range of styles and subject matter - including sport, nature, portraiture & documentary - offering something to suit all tastes. John Lambert, Director of Shipley Focus'd said, "A solo exhibition by one of The Light Collectors that we hosted in October was brilliantly received, so we are excited to be able to share the work of this inspiring collective of local photographers over the next fortnight" Entrance is free, and the exhibition is open from 10.30am to 4.30pm on Thursdays and 10am to 4.30pm on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays until Thursday 17th November. Central Hall is filling up quick! In the Spring e-bulletin, we covered the launch of Central Hall - the new home for Keighley and Ilkley Community Action (KIVCA) in central Keighley Only one of Central Hall's six business offices is still available. Three of the other units are occupied by Confianza, which specialises in work- related training for people with specific needs and abilities. South Asian theatre company Arakan Creative has taken another, and Mothers and Pregnancy Support Service also has office space. The Chamber of Commerce held its regular Keighley business breakfast in Healey Hall (Central Hall’s large multi-purpose space) on Wednesday 17th August. Companies wanting to visit the building to see the facilities available for conferences and training sessions should call development manager Matt Blackmore on (01535) 612500. The gallery meeting rooms are also available for selection and recruitment processes and small business meetings.

The Council and KIVCA worked together using Lottery, ERDF and LEGI funds to revive this building. Sustainable Urban Fringe conference in the last week of June 2011 Bradford hosted the mid-term conference as part of this trans-national research project into how communities on the fringe of urban areas best connect with the wider life of the urban core. The project is supported by European funds under Interreg IVB and includes UK cities Aberdeen, Kings Lynn, Bradford and Leeds and EU partners in East & West Flanders Belgium, Sweden’s, The Netherlands and Germany. The Worth Valley Ward was represented at the conference along with local steering group members.

  • COUNCIL 15 October 2019
    COUNCIL 15 October 2019 MEMBER QUESTION TIME Questions submitted in accordance with Standing Order 12 PART 2 _____________________________________________________________ 38. Councillor Susan Knox Can the Portfolio Holder explain, in the light of funding secured through section 106 agreements what plans have been put in place and at which schools to accommodate the hundreds of additional children expected in Eccleshill Ward as a result of the over 700 homes currently being built in the Fagley / Harrogate Road / Moorside area? Answer No funds are yet due for Education purposes from the approved Fagley Quarry developments. Once received, the money will be allocated towards the expansion of Poplars Farm Primary School or the building works at Low Ash Primary School. Housing developments are generally built at a rate of approximately 40 - 50 houses per developer, per year, resulting in some of the developments in this area taking up to 8 years to be completed and occupied. Calculations indicate that housing developments yield approximately an additional 14 primary and 7.5 secondary aged children per 100 houses, across all ages. Potential additional children who may come to live in new developments are included in school forecasts in line with the DfE requirements. Ongoing discussions will take place with schools in the area in line with construction to discuss school places for these additional children. It is worth noting that the Government does not allow Local Authorities to open new schools, and under the current Free School Programme, the DfE only approve proposed primary schools which are 2 forms of entry or more. In order to meet our statutory duty to ensure there are sufficient school places for all children across the District, the Local Authority can only expand existing schools, using forecasts to determine where additional places are required.

  • MEMBER QUESTION TIME (Standing Order 12) PDF 230 KB
    M COUNCIL 18 October 2016 MEMBER QUESTION TIME Questions submitted in accordance with Standing Order 12 _____________________________________________________________ 1. Councillor Dunbar What plans do we have to strengthen mental health provision locally, given that the Government doesn’t take the issue seriously with mental health trusts subjected to cuts of £600m and almost 5,000 fewer specialist psychiatry nurses since 2010? Answer Bradford Mental Health services are working together in an integrated way to try and strengthen services and mitigate the effects of the financial pressures that we are all subject to. Locally the following issues are being developed to strengthen MH services: Bradford has used the national initiative the 'Crisis Care Concordat' to bring all agencies together to agree an integrated approach to improving crisis services across the NHS, Council and Police. This has been recognised as one of the most successful projects nationally and we now have a co-ordinated 'whole system approach' with developments such as health and social care staff in the police station, 2 new crisis support centres in the Voluntary Sector and an integrated crisis response team operating 24hrs. Bradford is developing a comprehensive and integrated mental health strategy, due to be completed in November 2016.This is designed to implement the national Five Year Forward view from the NHS and the expectations of the Care Act. It covers all providers and commissioners and develops a strategy for issues such as physical and mental health, perinatal mental health, personalised care and support, crisis services and community services. Bradford health and social care community has been a key part of an application for West Yorkshire to be a 'Vanguard' site for urgent and emergency care, with mental health being a vital part of this.

    Report of the Shipley Area Co-ordinator to the meeting of Shipley Area Committee to be held on 6 March 2019 Z Subject: Shipley Ward Plans 2019-21 Summary statement: This report presents six new Ward Plans for consideration by the Area Committee. Steve Hartley Portfolio: Strategic Director of Place Neighbourhoods and Community Safety Report Contact: Damian Fisher Overview & Scrutiny Area: Phone: (01274) 437062 E-mail: [email protected] Corporate 1. SUMMARY 1.1 This report presents six new ward plans for consideration by the Area Committee. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 These ward plans will cover the period April 2019 to April 2021. The plans highlight local priorities in consultation with partners, residents and ward councillors and consider targeted action at a neighbourhood level. 2.2 The purpose of the ward plans is to improve the quality of life for people in Shipley. 2.3 The method for developing priorities is for Ward Officers to assess each ward from a wide range of key quantitative statistical information as well as collation of qualitative information gained through community engagement. The assessment also considers information about community strengths and resources available to address issues. The information is then interpreted to establish the priorities in the ward plan. 2.4 Members in all the six wards and partners will influence their respective ward plans by highlighting any issues and actions that may be needed in the Ward. 3. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Shipley Area Committee is able to influence the ward plans directly by use of its executive powers, devolved services and delegated budgets as well being a co- ordinator body and catalyst for action working in partnership.
