  • Holme Valley Neighbourhood Plan
    Holme Valley Neighbourhood Plan Information and display materials for the Public Drop-in sessions, June 2017 These slides have been prepared to form the basis of the displays at the Neighbourhood Plan Drop-in sessions held across the Valley during June: These will be held between 1pm and 9pm on: • June 7th at Hade Edge Band Room, HD9 2DF • June 9th at Holmfirth Civic Hall, HD9 3AS • June 13th at St David’s Parish Hall, Holmbridge, HD9 2NE • June 15th at Hepworth Village Hall, HD9 1TE • June 19th at St Mary’s Parish Rooms, Honley, HD9 6AH • June 23rd at Wooldale Community Centre, HD9 1XZ The slides include the 14 questions we are asking as a questionnaire which is available from our website: https://www.holmevalleyparishcouncil.gov.uk/np/ The questionnaire itself is linked from the website so to access directly, look at: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/HVNHPInitialConsultation The displays include more pictures and maps so where there are no images after a question in this presentation, these are just provided in hard copy at the drop-in sessions. However, all the key information is contained within this document so it can be read in isolation by those unable to attend the drop-in sessions. What is a Neighbourhood Plan? Neighbourhood Plans are a right for communities to shape development in their areas and they were introduced by the Localism Act in 2011. The Neighbourhood Plan will become a planning document which will control new building and land use in the valley for the next 15 years. How does it relate to the Kirklees Local Plan? The Neighbourhood Plan is different from the Local Plan and produced by the Holme Valley Parish Council, not Kirklees.

  • Honley High School – About Us
    Honley High School – About Us At Honley High School we have a long and proud tradition of academic excellence, a strength on which we are continually trying to build. Although the school is quite large (we have over 1280 students) we like to feel that we get to know all our students, as individuals, and are able to support them through what we all acknowledge, is a crucial time in their lives. Central to everything we are working to achieve is the school vision. We are striving to create an exceptional school where all members of the school community: - Are proud of the school, respectful of each other, socially responsible, and believe in and promote our values - Work within an atmosphere of mutual support, respect and collaboration - Are committed to individual and collective success and place no ceiling on aspiration; - Celebrate effort as well as achievement, take risks and learn from mistakes, recognising the intrinsic value of learning - Place the needs of the child at the centre of learning, nurture their creativity in overcoming the challenges of today and develop their resilience to address the uncertainties of tomorrow The exceptional school that we will create will be founded upon the following beliefs: - We believe in fairness, equity and inclusion: we value every child for who they are and show compassion and understanding in our dealings with one another - We strive for excellence in everything we do: we have high aspirations for everyone and believe that children and adults thrive in a climate of praise, celebration and recognition. We always measure ourselves against the highest standards.

  • May 2021 FOI 2387-21 Drink Spiking
    Our ref: 2387/21 Figures for incidents of drink spiking in your region over the last 5 years (year by year) I would appreciate it if the figures can be broken down to the nearest city/town. Can you also tell me the number of prosecutions there have been for the above offences and how many of those resulted in a conviction? Please see the attached document. West Yorkshire Police receive reports of crimes that have occurred following a victim having their drink spiked, crimes such as rape, sexual assault, violence with or without injury and theft. West Yorkshire Police take all offences seriously and will ensure that all reports are investigated. Specifically for victims of rape and serious sexual offences, depending on when the offence occurred, they would be offered an examination at our Sexual Assault Referral Centre, where forensic samples, including a blood sample for toxicology can be taken, with the victim’s consent, if within the timeframes and guidance from the Faculty for Forensic and Legal Medicine. West Yorkshire Police work with support agencies to ensure that all victims of crime are offered support through the criminal justice process, including specialist support such as from Independent Sexual Violence Advisors.

  • Wakefield, West Riding: the Economy of a Yorkshire Manor
    WAKEFIELD, WEST RIDING: THE ECONOMY OF A YORKSHIRE MANOR By BRUCE A. PAVEY Bachelor of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1991 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1993 OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY WAKEFIELD, WEST RIDING: THE ECONOMY OF A YORKSHIRE MANOR Thesis Approved: ~ ThesiSAd er £~ A J?t~ -Dean of the Graduate College ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am deeply indebted to to the faculty and staff of the Department of History, and especially the members of my advisory committee for the generous sharing of their time and knowledge during my stay at O.S.U. I must thank Dr. Alain Saint-Saens for his generous encouragement and advice concerning not only graduate work but the historian's profession in general; also Dr. Joseph Byrnes for so kindly serving on my committee at such short notice. To Dr. Ron Petrin I extend my heartfelt appreciation for his unflagging concern for my academic progress; our relationship has been especially rewarding on both an academic and personal level. In particular I would like to thank my friend and mentor, Dr. Paul Bischoff who has guided my explorations of the medieval world and its denizens. His dogged--and occasionally successful--efforts to develop my skills are directly responsible for whatever small progress I may have made as an historian. To my friends and fellow teaching assistants I extend warmest thanks for making the past two years so enjoyable. For the many hours of comradeship and mutual sympathy over the trials and tribulations of life as a teaching assistant I thank Wendy Gunderson, Sandy Unruh, Deidre Myers, Russ Overton, Peter Kraemer, and Kelly McDaniels.

  • Calderdale Way Walking Route
    Calderdale Way, walk route – dramatic West Yorkshire The Calderdale Way is a 50 mile (80 km) walk exploring the hills, moors and valleys of Calderdale. It is an ‘up and down’ journey with few level sections. The higher levels, however, provide some exceptionally fine panoramic views. There are some steep sections and there will be muddy parts following wet weather. Some areas of moorland are exposed. Mileage details, which are approximate, are given for longer sections with intermediate distances. The best walking and views as with all walks, would be in sunny weather following a dry spell. Appropriate footwear and clothing is needed for every part. The walk is accessible by public transport. Additionally it can be split into short walks also by using public transport. Additionally, there are many link paths. For example, an easy walk would be the three mile Norland to Ripponden section. Take the bus from Halifax to Norland and then walk on the level and downhill to Ripponden with another bus back to Halifax. Another even shorter walk combined with sight-seeing, would be to take the train to Hebden Bridge, bus to Heptonstall, and walk ¾ mile down to Hardcastle Crag and bus back to Hebden Bridge. The whole walk is circular and so can be started at any point; this starts at Brighouse. There are bus services to each of the distance points. Train services are available at Brighouse, Todmorden, Hebden Bridge, Mytholmroyd, Sowerby Bridge and Halifax. Route map and accommodation links at end of these details. Brighouse, Southowram, West Vale, Norland, Ripponden, Mill Bank (11.5 miles; start satnav HD6 1PQ) This section is a relatively easy introduction to the walk.
