Estimated Dementia Diagnostic Rate Across Bradford District
Public Health: Knowledge and Intelligence Date produced: 13/12/2019 Data source: GP population 2019 Dementia diagnostic rates across Bradford District Summary This intelligence report updates dementia diagnostic rates by practice and community partnerships for Bradford District. Data is displayed as a diagnostic rate (%), which is the observed number of dementia patients divided by the expected number (based on national prevalence rates). The % of total registered patients that have a dementia diagnosis is also displayed for Bradford City, Bradford District and AWC CCGs separately. Practices that have statistically significantly lower dementia diagnosis rates than both England and their CCG are: Bradford District CCG: City CCG: Sunnybank Little Horton Lane Dr Gilkar Thornton & Denholme Wibsey & Queensbury Wilsden Airedale, Wharfedale, Craven CCG Addingham surgery Oakworth Medical Practice As this analysis is based on a statistical model, possible reasons for low diagnosis rates may be over estimation of expected dementia patients or local service factors (e.g. additional care home patients registered with a practice). One community partnerships also have a significantly low dementia rate: South 8 (Clayton and Fairweather Green, Thornton and Allerton, Queensbury, Wyke) Key actions that practices can routinely undertake to increase dementia diagnosis rates are provided below. 1 Dementia diagnosis rate Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven CCG Benchmarks set nationally ≥ 66.7% (significantly)similar to 66.7%< 66.7% (significantly) (Observed -

Report of the Strategic Director, Place to the meeting of Bradford West Area Committee to be held on 28th March 2018. AF Subject: HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE NON-CLASSIFIED ROADS AND SURFACE DRESSING ALLOCATION FOR BRADFORD WEST - 2018/19 Summary statement: This report provides information on Capital Highway Maintenance funding and makes recommendations on the allocation for Non-Classified road resurfacing schemes and Surface Dressing sites for 2018/19. Steve Hartley Portfolio: Strategic Director Place Regeneration, Planning & Transport Report Contact: Andrew Whelan Overview & Scrutiny Area: Principal Engineer Highway Maintenance Environment and Waste Management Phone: (01274) 434409 E-mail: [email protected] Bradford West Area Committee 1.0. SUMMARY 1.1. This report details the allocation of the capital highway maintenance budget to the Non-Classified road network and Surface Dressing sites for 2018/19 in Bradford West. 2.0. BACKGROUND 2.1. The capital highway maintenance element of the Local Transport Plan for all classification of road for Bradford in 2018/19 is £4,951,000. 2.2. It is essential that local highway maintenance continues to be prioritised, reflecting the economic and social importance to communities and the need to safeguard the largest single local public asset. As such the allocation is to be prioritised on those roads in most need of maintenance. 2.3. The varying types and classifications of roads are routinely monitored by standardised survey equipment. The sites chosen for inclusion are those that have been shown to be in the most need of repair on the most recent survey. This is supplemented by those roads that are known to have suffered increased deterioration due to the ageing process and recent winter weather. -
A Short History of Bradford College
A short history of Bradford College Genes from the past The past holds the secret to the genetic ingredients that have created the unique institution that is Bradford College today… Bradford could be said to succeed on its ability to utilise four resources: its Broad Ford beck and tributary streams of soft water, which contributed to the cottage industry of weaving within its natural valley; its largely poor people who from five years of age upwards were the backbone of its labour resources within that industry;its pioneers who led the country in welfare and educational reform; its “useful men” – with the capital to captain industry and the foresightedness to maximise on and develop the potential of canal, rail, steam and power machines that galvanised the industrial revolution. But there is much more to “Worstedopolis” as Bradford was known when it was the capital and centre of the world stage in the production of worsted textiles and the story of its College is not rooted in textile enterprise alone. Bradford had other resources from the outset– stone from its quarries and iron from its seams at Bowling and Low Moor, to the extent that the “Best Yorkshire” iron was in full use at Trafalgar, Waterloo and the Crimea. Bradford was ripe territory for engineers and inventors who automated the production of the woollen processes. Bradford has also made its name in areas that range from automobile production to artificial limb design. All of these strands are evident in the very earliest portfolio on offer – and many survive today. Once technical training emerged, it began – then as today - to deliver the skills that employers and markets require - but whilst Bradford buildings in their locally quarried golden stone rose around the slums, a world of financial “haves” and “have nots” poured into the town. -

Notes on Stanbury
D R A F T NOTES ON THE LORDSHIP AND MANOR OF STANBURY Pre-History Evidence of Mesolithic settlement on upland sites in the NW of West Yorkshire along the major watersheds; evidence from Stanbury Moor in the form of three geometric microliths. 1 Bronze Age Stone circle discovered near the site of Walshaw Dean reservoir (SD 967343) on Wadsworth Moor to the SW of Stanbury Moor. The circle, 11 metres in diameter, surrounded a smaller circle, also built of stones. A second circle (SD 96213155) surveyed by the Ordnance Survey in 1962 thought to be a hut circle rather than a ceremonial circle. 2 Numerous additional National Monuments are also situated within the boundaries of the Manor of Stanbury. Anglo-Saxon Place-name: Old English Stan Burh “Stone Fortification”. Editor notes (1961) that “no trace of the fortification remains”. 3 “It is extremely difficult to isolate specific Mercian place-names. Even those containing definite Mercian forms, such as the inflected bury, rather than the uninflected borough from the OE burh (e.g. Stanbury, Dewsbury) may not go back to the 7th century, but may simply be the result of Mercian elements in the local dialect. Moreover, even if a place bears a probable Mercian name, this cannot be taken to indicate that it was actually occupied by Mercians.. It is, therefore, impossible at present to isolate specific Mercian settlements, but the possibility of their existence must be borne in mind in the course of future archaeological work in the county, especially in Agbrigg and Morley wapentakes, where the strongest evidence for Mercian influence is to be found in the place-names.” 4 Manor of Bradford held by Gamel. -
Delivering an On-Line Information Literacy Programme to Staff at Bradford Public Libraries: POP-I - a Case Study
Delivering an On-line Information Literacy Programme to Staff at Bradford Public Libraries: POP-i - a Case Study Rónán O'Beirne, Assistant Director, Bradford College. Acknowledgement The author wishes to acknowledge the help and support received in compiling this case study from Debbi Boden of Imperial College London. Also in delivering the project the assistance of John Davies and Anne Brown was crucial – many thanks. Introduction This case study provides an outline of the Pop-i project, identifies its aims and objectives, its key audience and deliverables, and shares findings from a mainly qualitative research methodology. POP-i was a collaborative non-commercial venture between Imperial College London (ICL) and the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council, Library Service to develop an on-line learning programme for information literacy aimed at public libraries based on the instructional design principles created by ICL in their Information Literacy Internal Programme (iLIP). Some of the challenges expected were: developing relevant content for the public library sector; ensuring delivery was within an appropriate learning environment; gaining significant buy-in from a group of staff who are not familiar with e-learning. From a project management and professional development perspective there was, at the outset, a perceived benefit in the Higher Education (HE) sector working with colleagues from the Public Library (PL) sector and vice- versa. Using data gathered through a range of methods, including interviews and focus groups, this study provides an overview of the issues and challenges encountered at a strategic, tactical and operational level and outlines some of the solutions that were found. -
Act Early: Holme Wood Introduction
Act Early: Holme Wood Introduction n 10 January 2020, 124 people came together to talk about Holme OWood — a single locality in the Bradford District. The attendees comprised front-line practitioners from community organisations, public service providers, local elected members and policy makers, alongside some of the world’s leading data scientists via invitation from The Alan Turing Institute, the UK’s national centre for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. The purpose of the meeting was to address two simple questions: “Can data science improve our collective understanding of a place like Holme Wood?” “Can we use data to help the community strengthen and grow by ‘acting together’?” In short, there was a positive answer (‘yes!’) to both questions. Our attendees’ observations and questions generated five action research projects, which we will be taking forward together. Crucially, the lines of enquiry for each project cut across traditional public service boundaries, reflecting the lived experience of people living and working in Holme Wood. Annex A provides more detail on the process followed on the day. 2 The five projects are: Exclusions, children not in school, and crime Healthy choices: healthy lives1 The impact of poor mental health on individuals, the community and services2 Pride, aspirations, role models and careers Adverse Childhood Experiences All projects will include an economic line of enquiry, considering the costs of current services and of issues playing out unaddressed — the costs to individuals, the community and services, plus the ‘opportunity cost’ — the potential positive financial effect of improving the situation and the cost of inaction. Annex B provides more detail on each project and the initial lines of enquiry proposed by our groups. -

Wilsden and Harecroft Parish Plan Spring 2010
Wilsden and Harecroft Parish Plan Spring 2010 Wilsden Parish Council www.wilsdenparishcouncil.gov.uk Wilsden and Harecroft Wilsden is a former mill village lying to the west of Bradford and the south of Bingley and is a part of the Bingley Rural ward of Bradford Metropolitan District Council. The population of the Wilsden Parish Council area, which covers the villages of Wilsden and Harecroft and the surrounding farms and houses, was 4,182 at the 2001 Census. The Parish Council area contained 1944 dwellings in January 2010 compared to the 1768 dwellings in 2001, representing a 10% increase.. Wilsden dates back to Saxon times, flourishing in the nineteenth century when the presence of coal, water and wool transformed an agricultural area into an industrial landscape based on textiles. With the decline of the textile industry Wilsden is now a pleasant dormitory village for people who work elsewhere. Fortunately, the shape of the valley, with a degree of vigilance, has ensured the survival of the character of this independent community, even after a second wave of growth. Wilsden Village Society was formed in 1970 and considered it had a responsibility to act as both a watchdog and to speak out strongly in the interests of the village and its residents. It also set out to provide a new focal point for community activities in the shape of the Village Hall, to revive former social activities and to encourage new ones. In 2004 Wilsden Parish Council was created to represent the interests of this distinct community within Bradford. Since then it has been active on a number of fronts to improve Wilsden as a place to work and live; a refurbished play area and revitalisation of the hanging basket scheme being two visible examples. -
