Carved aloft on a stone wall plaque was the date 1855 and the symbolic Bradford fleece, with a grand lamp hung alongside. With the construction skills of hoards of men and extraordinary visionaries, the main part of the mill reaching down the deep valley side is now visible.

  • 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.

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.
