  • Dave Pearson, Director of Transport
    Director: Dave Pearson, Director of Transport Services Report to: Kirklees District Consultation Sub-Committee Date: Wednesday 10 January 2018 Subject: Information Report 1 Purpose 1.1 Matters of information relating to the Calderdale District. 2 Information Bus Services Act 2.1 The Bus Services Act 2017 was enacted in May 2017. It expands the range of powers available to directly elected mayors and local transport authorities (LTAs) in areas in England outside of London to improve local bus services. The Act provides the following options for LTAs to adapt the approach to local circumstances. Franchising - where the LTA issues contracts with bus operators to provide services in the area. The Act provides mayoral LTAs with “London-style” powers to franchise local bus services, application for franchise powers by non-mayoral authorities will need to be made to the Secretary of State. Partnership - joint arrangements between LTAs and bus operators. The Act develops the existing Quality Partnerships powers extending their scope to include matters such as fares and frequencies. Two new forms of formal partnership are established “Advanced Quality Partnership Schemes” and “Enhanced Partnerships Schemes”. 2.2 The Bus Services Act also enables data about routes, fares and times across the country to be openly available to app developers, and further facilitates smart multi- modal ticketing schemes. 2.3 On 27 November, the Department for Transport issued guidance (www.gov.uk) on the use of the powers contained in the Act. 2.4 WYCA adopted its Bus Strategy 2040 in August 2017 which sets out a vision for the bus system and a target to grow bus patronage by 25% over the next ten years.

  • Meltham Group Practice Patient Reference Group
    Meltham Group Practice Patient Reference Group Minutes of the meeting held on Tuesday 9th April 2019 1. Attendees and apologies Elizabeth Alberti, Michael Ingleby, Helen Macgregor (chair), Judith Roberts, Pamela Shelton (minute taker), Greg Smith.There were no apologies. It was noted that according to our Terms of Reference the group is not quorate unless the GP who has taken on responsibility for patient participation attends, along with three patient members and a member of the admin team. Dr Ashraf is the designated doctor; regret was expressed about his lack of regular attendance as we benefit from his extensive knowledge, especially as he is currently a member of the Greater Huddersfield CCG. As it is some time since the group last met, those present introduced themselves and indicated why they had opted to join. There was some discussion about the purpose of the group. Action: Pamela will circulate the original Terms of Reference that were agreed when the Group was first established as a face-to-face group, as opposed to a virtual group that communicated electronically. The first meeting of the Group was on 7th October 2014. 2. Matters arising from the last meeting on 17th April 2018 There was a proposal to use Facebook as a means of disseminating information and generating comments re the Practice. However, GPs were not enthusiastic, in part because such an arrangement would require oversight and staff are already hard pressed; also, feedback from other local Practices indicated that it can generate a lot of negative comments. 3. Feedback from the Greater Huddersfield CCG Patient Reference Group Network meetings Greg attended the meetings during 2018.

    HUDDERSFIELD CHRONICLE 1881 TO 1900 1 January 28 1881 BASE COIN IN THE BLACK COUNTRY At the Stafford Assizes yesterday morning, Mr Commissioner Wills QC had before him for sentence a number of prisoners charged with passing base coin in the neighbourhoods of Wolverhampton. Walsall and West Bromwich, who had been convicted on the previous day. In all the cases, the “smashers”, who are believed to have got the spurious coin from Birmingham, went to small shopkeepers and, purchasing a trifling item, tendered a counterfeit coin in payment, frequently getting change without suspicion. After remarking on the enormity of the offence, the learned commissioner sentenced George Brown, locksmith, to five years penal servitude; Harry Hanson, horse dealer, to 12 months; Thomas Goodfrey, labourer, to six months; George Fuel, slater, to 12 months; John Farley, boatman, six months; and Ann Davies, a bad character, to six months. 2 February 24 1881 Borough Police Court THROWING A BOY INTO THE CANAL George Goodier, boatman, Wakefield, was charged with doing grievous bodily harm to Tom Fletcher, a lad of 16 years of age, on the 23 rd October last. The allegation of Fletcher was that on the day in question, between half past four and five in the afternoon, he, his mother, and three boys were coming to Huddersfield from Colne-bridge, along the canal bank. When they got near the lockhouse, they passed prisoner, who was in charge of a boat. Without anything being said, prisoner, who was the worse for liquor, exclaimed, “I'll drown you young -----”, and caught hold of Fletcher by the neck and breeches and dropped him into the canal, letting go of his clothes.
