We will shortly be circulating to members the revised Code of Conduct for which the Board will seek adoption at the Annual General Meeting at Wolverhampton on Saturday 6th February. We are grateful to have received a large number of comments, all of which have been considered by the Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee and the Board of Directors. Where considered appropriate, suggested amendments have been adopted but several submissions were contradictory or misunderstood the meaning or implication of individual clauses, so they have not been adopted. This Code, which is intended to replace the existing code, is not proposed as a tool for regulation but to protect the reputation of our members and the heritage railway and tramway sectors as a whole. The major change is the modification of clause 8 which introduces sanctions in the case of breaches as otherwise the Code becomes toothless. We have changed the original proposal for these sanctions to give members greater protection against spurious, malicious or unjustified complaint. In particular, the Board will act as a filter to ensure that only bona fide complaints are remitted to a special adjudication panel. Secondly the panel scrutinising such complaints will be totally independent of the Board and it will be tasked with deciding which sanction, if any, will be implemented. Lastly, there is to be a right of appeal to the membership in general meeting. We have tried to avoid being over prescriptive; it is intended that the Code should be observed and applied with common sense. Some provisions may not apply to all members, particularly those that do not operate a heritage railway or tramway undertaking. Brian Simpson, OBE, Chairman HRA 2/ GIVING TO HERITAGE. The funding for this project runs out in March 2016 so this is your last chance to take advantage of this most useful project. Those HRA members that have taken advantage of this project have been impressed and found the meetings most useful. The final meetings, are filling up fast, some are already fully booked, so if you want to take advantage please contact the Giving to Heritage website now; www.givingtoheritage.org.uk (See also HRA Calendar on page 13). 3/ HRA AGM WEEKEND – HOTEL DETAILS.

The HRA sponsored a Parliamentary Reception in the House of Lords on 24 November, which was hosted by our President Lord Faulkner of Worcester, and supported by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Heritage Rail. Some 120 people gathered together in the Cholmondeley Room and on the terrace with its wonderful views over the river. Members of the All-Party Group and of the House of Lords joined MPs whose constituencies include heritage railways. The purpose of the function was to bring together MPs (and particularly those coming to the Commons for the first time at the last election) with the heritage railways in their constituency, and to encourage interest by other Parliamentarians. Around 30 Parliamentarians came along and the guest list included The Vice President of FEDECRAIL Jacques Dafis and his wife, as well as the President of UNECTO, Louis Poix. Guest of honour was the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport, Claire Perry whose address included thanks to the HRA, the Railway Heritage Trust and to the volunteers who had preserved and maintained our heritage railways. She commended the Swanage Railway, which she had recently visited, and their efforts to restore a service to the main line at Wareham, and pledged that the Government would work with the wider railway industry in recognising the work of heritage railways. Her officials would look at what could be done to encourage closer links with heritage railways and to overcome planning constraints to running some public transport services where heritage railways believe there was scope to do so.

  • Newsletter November 2002-11-08
    Members’ Newsletter: March 2008 TO ALL VCT MEMBERS: You are cordially invited to attend the Opening by the Mayor of Keighley of Vintage Carriages Trust’s Special Exhibition marking the 40th Anniversary of the Grand Re-Opening of the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. On: Saturday 22nd March 2008 At: the Vintage Carriages Trust’s Museum of Rail Travel Time: 2.15 for 2.35 pm. RSVP! If you are intending to be present please contact Dave Carr (VCT Honorary Secretary) by phone on 01759 304176, by email at [email protected] or by post to Dave Carr, Vintage Carriages Trust, c/o The Railway Station, Haworth, Keighley, West Yorkshire BD22 8NJ. VCT’s tribute to the KWVR - 40 years since Re-Opening Above is your invitation to the launch of VCT’s Special Exhibition in tribute to the 40th Anniversary of the Re-Opening of the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway – the first train left Keighley at 2.35 pm on Saturday 29th June 1968. As you will remember from the last Newsletter, we applied to the Big Lottery for a grant of £5,000 to stage this tribute to the Railway and give an opportunity for local people to celebrate this achievement. Unfortunately the Big Lottery was not able to support this application. However, our Chairman (never one to be deterred by set- backs) has worked towards gathering some funds, which, although not as substantial as the hoped-for grant would have been, do ensure that the planned Exhibition will go ahead. Thanks are due to those Members who donated towards this project – obviously your contributions are still very welcome due to the absence of this grant money.

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Oxenhope To
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Oxenhope to Haworth Starting point and OS Grid reference Car park at Oxenhope Station (SE 033354) Ordnance Survey map OL21 – South Pennines Distance 8.1 miles Date of Walk 25 November 2016 Traffic light rating Introduction: This walk from Oxenhope has many different facets to it. It includes excursions through Pennine mill towns, with impressive mill chimneys; Haworth, with an opportunity to dip your toe in the literary world at the museum about the famous Brontë sisters and a look at parts of the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway made famous by the film The Railway Children. The walk starts at Oxenhope Station and passes Oakworth and Haworth stations too. You will also get good moor land views, weather permitting. It was a somewhat dull day for much of this walk although it brightened up later. Your chances of seeing any steam trains depend very much on the timing of your walk and you would be advised to check the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway website for the timetable if this is important to you. Not far away on the moors is the famous Top Withens ruin which may (or may not) have been the inspiration for Wuthering Heights. This can be visited via my Brontë Waterfalls and Top Withens walk. The walking is fairly easy on this route although after wet weather, it can be muddy in places. There are plenty of refreshment opportunities in Haworth, which has an array of pubs and cafes. My favourite pub is The Fleece Inn down the main street and I can vouch for the quality of the food and beer (in 2016).

Real ale is a top fermented beer that, following fermentation, is put into a cask with yeast and some residual fermentable sugars from the malted barley. The beer undergoes a slow secondary fermentation in the cask to produce a gentle carbonation. This leaflet has been produced with help from the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) and the Keighley and Craven branch, in particular. For more information about CAMRA’s activities locally, visit www.keighleyandcravencamra.org.uk This leaflet is for guidance only.

  • The Old Meon Valley Railway Line
    The Old Meon Valley Railway Line Complaint to Local Government Ombudsman about project undertaken by Hampshire County Council 1 Complaint to Local Government Ombudsman This complaint is being made on behalf of the Meon Valley Old Railway Line Users Group, an informal collection of around 2,600 people who use the old railway line. Contact: Martin Montague, 8 Barnes Wallis Road, Segensworth East, Fareham, Hampshire. PO15 5TU [email protected] 0370 490 0000 Complaint against: Hampshire County Council Address: The Castle, Winchester, Hampshire SO23 8UJ Nature of complaint: Works on the old Meon Valley railway line / Meon Valley Trail Nature of complaint / Introduction The old Meon Valley railway line (or as Hampshire County Council has rebranded it “The Meon Valley Trail”) is a much-loved 11-mile bridleway stretching from the village of West Meon to Knowle Junction, near Fareham. It runs along a stretch of the disused Alton to Fareham railway line which was closed in 1962 as part of the Beeching cuts and has been enjoyed by walkers, horse riders and cyclists for around 40 years. Between 2014 and 2015, Hampshire County Council, together with its partner the South Downs National Park, undertook a project to “upgrade” the old railway line using £400,000 of public money. However, as this document will demonstrate, it is now apparent that Hampshire County Council and the South Downs National Park rushed through the project having undertaken no proper consultation, without planning permission, having inadequate communication with stakeholders, weak management and, when faced with questions and criticism, the two authorities chose to attack or ignore their critics rather than try to address their concerns.

SUMMARY This report informs members of the revised format for the reporting of neighbourhood and ward based action planning activity. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 Community involvement in Neighbourhood Action Planning and the dynamic linkage of local people with those who make decisions on their behalf, deliver local services and maintain a safe and healthy environment forms a significant part the core business of the Neighbourhood Service. 2.2 In response to the priorities of the Keighley Area Action Plan, Members approved the establishment of a locality planning framework that reconciled all current and previous action planning activity within sixteen neighbourhood action plans. 2.3 These plans were presented to and endorsed by the Keighley Area Committee on the 21st of October 2010. 2.4 A key feature of the Neighbourhood Action Planning process is the role of District Ward Councillors both as advocates and scrutinisers with a democratically elected mandate to ensure that local action plans accurately reflect and address the needs of the community.

    The Old Station House | Sages Lane | Privett | Alton | Hampshire The Old Station House Sages Lane | Privett | Alton Hampshire | GU34 3NP Guide Price £1,100,000 Historic Former Railway Station built in 1903 Part of The Meon Valley Railway Converted into a Stunning Family Home Original Character Features Throughout Lovely Garden with Outlook over Fields Excellent Parking, Garage with Workshop Situated in the South Downs National Park and Privett Conservation Area An opportunity to own an historic building. Situated in a commanding position on a disused railway, Privett Station has been sympathetically converted into a unique, individual home, whilst completely retaining its character feel. Built in 1903, it is one of only three remaining stations on the former Meon Valley Railway, which ran for 22 miles between Alton and Fareham, part of The London and South Western Railway. Privett Station was at the summit of the line at 519 feet (158 metres) above sea level. Due to its remote location, the station was not much used and eventually closed at the same time as the railway itself in 1955. All the stations on the line were built to an extraordinary high standard and incorporated impressive passenger facilities, which included a large booking office with a vaulted timber framed roof, and separate 'gentlemen's' and 'ladies' waiting rooms. Designed in a 'Tudor Revival' style, the station is brick-built with attractive Portland stone mullioned windows and gables. The long platform remains, with its original lamp posts, adding greatly to the property's character. The large garden and grounds extend to about two acres, with a large lawn and beautiful views over the neighbouring fields.
