I feel proud that groups like Editor ‘Get Out More’, who you can read about in this issue, feel the work of Friends of Northcliffe is valuable enough to give a donation (many thanks to Annie and Get Out More for their generosity). I look at the combination of conservation activity, community events and research, and feel proud that we’re really putting something back into the community of which we are a part. My foreword to this newsletter is often tinged with some sadness, and it is with much sadness that we heard of the passing of Jim Vidler, husband to Irene (who is the secretary of Northcliffe Allotment Society).

  • Excited for Eldwick School by Lucy Blyth and Jane Courtney Mumby 1
    Excited for Eldwick school by Lucy Blyth and Jane Courtney Mumby 1. Let’s make friends and talk As parents we all want the best for our children, and we know that young children age 0 to 4 learn best when they have one to one care with a kind, patient, nurturing adult, and are gradually socialised with others. This helps them become confident and independent enough to attend a Nursery or pre school without us part time with one adult to 4 children when they are two years old, then one adult to 13 children when they are three years old, and then school for full days when they are four. However we also know that reality for most young families is that both parents are working as soon as they can after the birth of the child, and juggling children between private day care, family and friends. We are both mothers, and full time Early Years practitioners, and understand the pressure parents are under, and have written this to remind us all of a few simple things we can do to support our children that will help them become well rounded, sociable, confident, resilient individuals with healthy attitudes to and appetites for learning and to have made the progress necessary for them to be ready for the changes outlined above at the ages they are required to do them. In this first blog we are focusing on social skills and communication. Socialising our children is a long term project, and starts at birth, and in its simplest form is very similar to socialising a puppy.

  • Appendix a City of Bradford MDC SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
    Appendix A City of Bradford MDC SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ACTION PLAN 2020-2021 Climate Emergency – the defining Issue The Climate Emergency is the defining issue for local government requiring urgent and significant steps to limit our collective impact on climate breakdown and environmental damage, improve the resilience of Bradford District, its organisations, communities and households and ensure that economic growth is sustainable and inclusive. Effective climate action presents significant challenges and requires deep reductions in emissions, fundamental changes to the ways in which we live and significant adaptation to a changing world. While the Council has a leading role to play in addressing the challenges, those challenges are shared by organisations across all sectors and people in all communities. The Sustainable Development Action Plan sets out activities and actions that the Council, in partnership with Government, regional agencies, local businesses, organisations and communities, will take in 2020-21 to reduce the extent of climate change, adapt to its impact, promote and improve environmental stewardship and seize the opportunities it offers for a sustainable and inclusive development, new skills and jobs, better health and stronger communities. The action plan represents a dynamic and evolving approach to Sustainable Development and the Climate Emergency. The year 2020-21 will see a number of key developments take place: The progression and implementation of national budget decisions around investment in climate action, clean growth and green infrastructure The implementation of a devolution deal for West Yorkshire The outcomes of the West Yorkshire and North Yorkshire Emissions Reductions Pathway study, which will identify the key climate actions and interventions required to achieve a net zero carbon city region by 2038 National environmental policy and legislation Establishment of a proposed Sustainable Development Partnership for Bradford District Development of a revised Council Plan and 2040 Vision.

  • Shipley Neighbourhood Plan
    Shipley Ward Shipley is a town situated in the Aire Valley, West Yorkshire. It falls within Bradford Metropolitan District and the Leeds City Region. Shipley developed on a major rail, waterway and road junction linking Bradford to Leeds and a number of settlements leading into the Yorkshire Dales. The town has a population of around 28,000 people, about half of which live within a single ward boundary (Shipley). While Shipley's town council was dissolved 1974 and the town was absorbed into an enlarged Bradford local authority area, it maintains a strong sense of local identity as a town. Notable features of the town include plentiful high quality Victorian housing stock, juxtaposed against a 1960s "brutalist" town centre and clock tower. Shipley largely developed in the 19th and early 20th Century, but saw a major period of redevelopment in the mid-Twentieth Century, with substantial slum clearances producing a very high proportion of social housing. This new, generally good quality social housing was built in small clusters around the town and is a feature of most neighbourhoods. Popular local amenities include the world heritage site of Saltaire Village and Mill, the River Aire and canal, Northcliffe Park and woodlands, Hirst Wood, Roberts Park, Shipley Glen Tramway and numerous allotments. The town boasts plentiful pubs and its own small brewery. Local employment includes the public sector, new technology, light industry, retail, services, a small voluntary sector and a small tourism sector focussed around Saltaire Village. Employment is often found in neighbouring Bradford. However, its long-term decline as an industrial and retail centre has led to increasingly strong economic ties with Leeds, where a large numbers of residents access employment as well as shopping and cultural activities.

  • March 2005 to 2018
    March 2005 - 2018 March 2018 During this cold wet month, a single Osprey passed over Oxenhope (7th) and another caught the attention of local crows as it flew north over the Wharfe Valley (15th). Three Whooper Swans were seen on Lower Barden Reservoir (21st) and eight others spent a few hours feeding on flooded fields at Silsden (17th), this was on the same day that eight Shovelers were located. During the month, a single male Shoveler spent a couple of weeks on Yeadon Tarn and three others visited Silsden Reservoir (21st). Little Egrets have become more common in the area, particularly in the Aire Valley. A single visited Stockbridge and two others were reported as they fed alongside the by-pass at Silsden. Redshanks also found conditions here to their liking, as 15 were feeding on the flooded fields (19th). Water Rails were, as expected, seen at Stockbridge, but the only Pochard in the area was a female at Yeadon Tarn. At Park Dam, Low Moor, a pair of Gadwall and a pair of Mandarins were seen, whilst three were three pairs of the latter on the Wharfe between Ilkley and Knotford Nook. Snipe had begun their courtship flights over Glovershaw where 25 pairs of Lapwings were established on their traditional breeding grounds. Prior to dispersal, Golden Plovers were reported in flocks of between 30 and 50 at Glovershaw, Hawksworth Moor, Moorside Lane, Oxenhope and on the by-pass at Silsden. Tree Sparrows were located at Dobrudden Farm, Baildon and in Judy Woods whilst Tawny Owls were breeding in Shipley Glen and at Stockbridge.
