A complaint had been received about a stile on the Derry Hill footpath and the land-owner has now agreed with the Footpaths Officer from Bradford Council that the stile can be replaced with a self-closing gate. Following a discussion about accessibility and the need to replace all four stiles on this particular footpath, the Parish Council RESOLVED: to fund the replacement of two stiles on this footpath to a maximum of £500 and to accept Bradford Council’s match-funding for the other two stiles.

  • Street Vision Tender
    Otley Town Council NOTICE OF TENDER StreetVision 2030 Tenders are invited by Otley Town Council to produce a vision document showing the potential for infrastructure improvements and other modifications in Otley to promote active travel. Tenders will be received up to 12 noon BST on Friday 8th November 2019. Tenders should be submitted electronically to [email protected] Please note that the canvassing of Councillors in relation to this contract will automatically disqualify the applicant. TENDER SPECIFICATION 1. Site Location Otley is a market town and civil parish at a bridging point on the River Wharfe, in the City of Leeds metropolitan borough in West Yorkshire, England. Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, the population was 13,668 at the 2011 census. The town is in two parts – south of the river is the historic town of Otley and to the north is Newall, which was formerly a separate township. Otley lies 28 miles (45 km) south-west of York, 10 miles (16 km) north-west of Leeds, 10 miles (16 km) north-east of Bradford, and 196 miles (315 km) from London. The town is in lower Wharfedale on the A660 road which connects it to Leeds. 2. Rationale for the #StreetVision2030 Project Otley Town Council approved a Cycling Strategy two years ago and has taken first steps on implementing this Strategy, including publication of a Safer Cycling Routes leaflet (accompanied by guided family rides to encourage more short journey cycling) and our sustained support for the development of the Wharfedale Greenway. A primary objective of the Strategy is to increase the opportunities for safe cycling in Otley as a contribution to reducing local traffic congestion, good health and well-being and a calmer street and road environment for all users – pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.

  • Burley Matters
    Burley Matters This is Burley Parish Council’s e-newsletter sharing Council discussions and decisions and also bringing news about work underway with our many partners in the village. Queens Hall & Library Public Consultation The Parish Council are looking to organise a joint consultative exhibition with the Save Our Library Site group on Saturday 13th January 2018. The event will be held in the Queens Hall and will show the proposed drawings for the refurbishment of both builds as proposed by the Parish Council and the Save Our Library Site group. Before that, to help inform residents on the options, the Parish Council will produce a special edition of the quarterly paper newsletter, to seek community views on the costs and benefits of the refurbishment of both buildings. This should be out in December and will be delivered to every home and business in the village. The newsletter will contain background information about the refurbishment and running costs for both the Queens Hall and Library. It will also include several refurbishment options, and costs, to help residents make an informed decision about how best public money should be spent. Matters close to the heart such as family and community are often discussed amongst family and friends during the many social events that take place over Christmas. Hopefully we can make the Queens Hall and library refurbishment a real talking point in the village which we can build on during the open day in January. Wharfedale Greenway There is a walk planned to promote the Wharfedale Greenway on Saturday 27th January 2018.

  • Wharefedale Greenway Consultation Executive Summary
    Wharefedale Greenway Consultation Executive Summary Key Findings: The vast majority of people who responded to the consultation were in favour of the proposed Wharfedale Greenway People saw the route as benefitting the area for the purpose of leisure, journeys to work, school, shops and access to rail stations, especially Menston. Of those supporting the route an overwhelming number felt a traffic free route was needed as the roads felt unsafe to cycle, walk or ride on. There are some areas of concern that need more detailed work Summary of findings The communities of Burley in Wharfedale, Menston, Otley and Pool in Wharfedale were asked if they were largely in favour of the proposed Wharfedale Greenway at a series of public consultations held in each area in June 2014.

No overall view Objectors, 32 / undecided, 9 Supporters, 606 Although the support for the route was overwhelming it can be seen there were some objections either to specific sections of the route or concerns about issues that the route may bring to communities. What people would use the route for: Most people would use the route for leisure trips; this represented 52% of the overall total.

  • Burley Parish Council Representations to the Sun Lane Planning Inquiry Planning Submission 16/07870/MAO
    Burley Parish Council Representations to the Sun Lane Planning Inquiry Planning Submission 16/07870/MAO Burley Parish Council - Representations to the Sun Lane Planning Inquiry 1 Executive Summary As it is located along a key road and public transport corridor, Burley should make a contribution towards meeting the District’s needs for housing and employment. Indeed, the Parish Council maintain that proposals for housing development on sites within the settlement boundary for Burley village will be supported when they would not result in the loss of an open space identified as being important to the community (source: Burley Neighbourhood Plan Policy BW4 p15) The Parish Council are not opposed to more new homes in the village and indeed fully supported the planning application for several new housing developments such as new homes at Greenholme Mills (149 homes), but the proposal for 500 homes at Sun Lane poses some significant challenges, specifically: A Burley-in-Wharfedale as a Growth Area: i) The planning authority contravene the definition of a growth area since there is little by way of existing employment in Burley-in-Wharfedale, and no new employment or external economic activity being planned for this area ii) Given recent residential developments, the number of homes the village is capable of supporting without significant improvements in infrastructure, is at its upper limit. As a result, the Parish Council would maintain the village has been wrongly identified as a local growth centre B Core Strategy: i) BDMC has not yet revised

The Eggs2ipad project re-started in March in the Library—more young volunteers are wanted to balance the numbers. Adult Fitness Trail: Feedback and support registered at the Wellbeing Fair—thanks to Nigel…Menston Parish Council is taking this forward… The current idea is to have seven or eight pieces of equipment placed around the Park. 4. Low Carbon Menston: Jonathan reported that he and Goodith had recently attended a Climate Action meeting with groups from Harrogate, Knaresborough, Otley, Headingly, Addingham and Ilkley.

  • Wharfedale Greenway
    Agenda Item 7 Otley Town Council Policy & Resources Committee Date: 25th March, 2019 Subject: Wharfedale Greenway Report by: Executive Officer 1. Purpose of report 1.1 To request release of funds from reserves to cover costs associated with the production of supporting documents required for a planning application. 2. Background 2.1 The Wharfedale Greenway is an ambitious project to provide a traffic-free cycling, walking and equestrian route within the Wharfedale Valley. The first three phases of the route intend to utilise the disused railway line between Pool in Wharfedale, Otley and Burley in Wharfedale, with a spur link to Menston. A feasibility study of a further phase to the west (Burley to Ilkley and Addingham) is currently in draft. An extension to Bolton Abbey has also been discussed and route to the east of Pool in Wharfedale is also being considered. 2.2 An initial feasibility study for the route was undertaken on behalf of Otley Town Council by Sustrans in 2010. Subsequently, in 2013 the Wharfedale Greenway Steering Group was formed to carry the proposed route forward. This group comprises: Otley Town Council; Burley-in-Wharfedale Parish Council; Menston Parish Council; Pool-in- Wharfedale Parish Council; Bradford Metropolitan District Council; Leeds City Council; and, Sustrans. This resulted in a refresh of the feasibility report in 2014 and the undertaking of a public consultation exercise to gauge the views of the public on the re- opening of the former railway line for leisure uses. This public consultation demonstrated considerable support for the initiative. 2.3 Sustrans were subsequently commissioned in 2016 to undertake a Design and Delivery Report for the first phase of the project between Otley and Burley-in-Wharfedale.
