It will also create a dangerous road junction. The Council have also been made aware that the plans are incorrect. 20/00340/FUL 1 Dicks Garth Road, Construction of detached three There are some Menston bedroom dwelling with integral problems with access garage and parking. It was agreed that a decision will be deferred until the next meeting P2020/023 Planning Panel It was agreed to refer the application Land at 87 Cleasby Road Menston to the Planning Panel. P2020/024 To note any planning applications not for consultation None. P2020/025 Access to the Bingley Road site from Meadowcroft It was reported that the access problem seems to have been resolved, but Clerk asked to write letter to East coast Construction and Bellway requesting a “No site access” sign. P2020/026 To consider any planning applications adjacent to the Parish Council boundary within Leeds City Council 19/07800/FU - Hybrid application for full planning permission for the demolition (in part) of existing mill buildings, conversion (in part) and extension of existing mill buildings (including retention of chimney) to create eight apartments and laying out of car parking area and Outline application for residential development at Imperial Works Otley Road Menston LS29 6AA. The Parish Council resolved to send the following objections: Access very poor even with the layby (which is in Bradford District) incorporated. Sight lines are poor and it is already dangerous getting out of the tip where cars are not allowed to turn right so they endeavour to ‘u turn’ at the entrance to Ellar Gardens—also a very dangerous manoeuvre. The Parish Clerk was asked to write to Leeds Council, with a copy to Bradford, objecting to the planning application and pointing out that the layby is in Bradford. P2020/027 Neighbourhood Development Plan None. P2020/028 Proposal to amalgamate the Keighley/Shipley/Bradford Planning Panels The Parish Clerk was asked to write with the Parish Council’s objections to the proposals – it was agreed that the number of planning applications which would be considered at a joint meeting would make the process unworkable as any attendees at a Planning Panel need to know what time their case is likely to be considered. P2020/029 Proposed Derry Hill/Moor Lane and Bingley Road developments Professor David Rhodes reported that many photos had been taken of the flooding at the bottom of Bingley Roar and at Dicks Garth Road as a result of storm Ciara. There is to be a Court Action about the Derry Hill Water Course disputing the developer’s claim that it was ‘put back to its natural state’. At the top of the Moor Lane site the water is being deflected onto Moor Lane. The combined sewer and run off drains have a problem with capacity. This was raised three years ago and nothing has happened. Professor Rhodes has met with Government Ministers to try to get this matter ‘called in’ as the water coming off the site is far in excess of what was allowed for in the planning application. Professor Rhodes was thanked very much for all his efforts in relation to these sites. P2020/030 To report any progress on Bradford Council’s Local Plan None. P2020/031 Chairman’s remarks and correspondence The Village Open Space at Ellar Gardens is still being abused with the building of two paths to access private houses. The Clerk was asked to write to Mike Priestley at Bradford Council to re-address the questions that were asked in an earlier letter. P2020/032 Date of next meeting It was agreed that the next meeting will take place on Thursday 28th March 2020 at 7.00pm in Room 17 at Kirklands. .

  • St. John the Divine, Menston with Woodhead Vicar of St John’S Menston Bishop’S Statement
    St. John the Divine, Menston with Woodhead Vicar of St John’s Menston Bishop’s Statement St John’s Menston is a church with significant potential within the Bradford Episcopal Area and the Diocese of Leeds, and the opportunity to be an important focal point in its local community. The congregation is faithful and generous - both financially and also in time devoted to caring for the church building and work in the local community. The average age is high, despite good work in continuing with a monthly service “Let’s Worship”, which has been an important commitment to making church more accessible to families. Our vision as the Diocese is about confident clergy equipping confident Christians to live and tell the good news of Jesus Christ. In appointing to this post, we are looking for someone who has a joyful and confident faith which can inspire church growth. (S)he must be able to play a strong and creative role in the life of the village and local community, relate the gospel to the issues of life affecting those who live in Menston (many of whom commute out of the village each weekday), and provide fresh vision and clear, firm leadership to enable the congregation of St John’s to “grow younger”. There has been significant new-build housing in Royds Park and Chevin Park, and I am looking to the new incumbent to help the church to be proactive in reaching out to those newly arrived in the parish, as well as developing the church’s outreach to more settled residents.

  • Menston News
    MENSTON NEWS ISSUE NUMBER 130 www.menston.org Summer 2021 Misson Statement of Menston Community Association: To unite the village through community-driven engagement, communications, events and experiences in order to enhance the wellbeing, inclusivity and amenities of the community for its residents. WELCOME TO THIS EDITION OF MENSTON NEWS, THE NEWSLETTER OF MENSTON COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION The sky on our front cover reflects the unsettled weather we have had of late and also perhaps the uncertain period in front of us this summer. We shall miss the tranquility of plane-free skies and less busy roads, the crescendo of bird song and the solidarity so many of us have felt from collective clapping and community initiatives to support our more vulnerable residents. But we can still resolve to change things for the better. Photo courtesy of Steve Davey MENSTON COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION In this edition you will at last find some preliminary details of an event – a time to celebrate and reflect upon the period we have just gone through, both on a personal level and a community one. Save the date! - 17th July. Articles develop this theme and there are more walks in response to popular demand. There is much evidence that events from late adolescence are remembered best in later life. So that generation, just about to enter adulthood now, will remember these urgent times more vividly. So we need to work as a community to foster good mental health and also face the next challenge together - to stop an environmental catastrophe later this century. In this edition there are many suggestions as to how we can all play our part.
