Harden but Ever Optimistic, We’Ll Try Again Next Year! In-flight! Welcome to the Spring 2014 edition of the Airedale & Bradford Local Group Newsletter. This edition has been edited and produced by Judy Robinson, the next edition is due in the autumn. Any contributions to future editions of this newsletter would be gratefully received: either speak to Judy, Paul (Treasurer) or e-mail [email protected]. Views expressed in this Newsletter are those of individual contributors and not necessarily of the RSPB. Our Group website not only has a digital copy of this and earlier newsletters (with photographs in full colour), but provides most useful information of what is happening within the group plus tips and ideas of how increase your pleasure and enjoyment of the wildlife around you. www.rspb.org.uk/groups/airedaleandbradford/ Volunteering has its Benefits We would like volunteers to help run our Indoor Meetings and participate in other events that the group or- ganises or is invited to. Our current priority is to find an organiser for our Guided Walks. Birding expertise is not a requirement, just a love of the outdoors and a willingness to reconnoitre half a dozen short walks (of approximately 2 hours) every year. If you wish to volunteer or join our committee, contact us on the number below or make yourself known at one of our Indoor Meetings. To make it easier, anyone joining our committee can be 'without portfolio' for the first few months whilst they find their feet. In addition to the monthly public meetings, the committee also meets once a month to plan activities and discuss wider issues regarding the RSPB. The benefits? Five years ago, Carol and Paul joined the committee. Within 12 months a family of bullfinches started to visit their garden. Debbie joined the committee three years ago; the bullfinches have now arrived in her garden. The conclusion is obvious: if you want to attract bullfinches to your gar- den, volunteer for the RSPB! They are also many other ways in which you can help. See the Volunteering pages - http://www.rspb.org.uk/volunteering/ opportunities/groups.asp For more information contact Carol or Paul on 01274 582078 or [email protected] On Other Pages: Photo: Paul Barrett 2.

A stopper with a long tow back develops at the weir base in high water. Always check the weir before you get on. 2. Once past the weir the river narrows and becomes more picturesque. Beware of low hanging trees. 3. The best course is down the centre of the river. At Myrtle Park be aware of the height of the metal bridge if the river level is high.

  • 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.

  • Our Ref: 0483/19 Could You Please Provide Me with the Total Number of Islamophobic Hate Crimes for Each Year Over the Last Five
    Our ref: 0483/19 Could you please provide me with the total number of Islamophobic hate crimes for each year over the last five years? ( from 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2018). If it is possible, i would like the data to be broken down by the day they were reported. Please see the attached table which provides Islamophobic Hate Crimes recorded, broken down by date recorded, and Ward area. Please note recent increases in hate crime are predominantly associated with administrative change in relation to Force crime recording processes which have resulted in an increased likelihood of a crime being recorded following an incident report to the Police. Crime increases have been reported across a number of crime types this year and the increases in hate crime follow a similar pattern to related offences such as public order and low level violence without injury. The force has made improvements to how information about hate incidents is recorded. A number of sub-categories for the recording of faith and disability hate crimes are being introduced to get a better understanding of the impact of national and international events on local communities and improve and target services for victims. Recent publicity may also have encouraged victims of hate incidents and crimes to come forward and report their experience to the police. West Yorkshire Police support the annual Hate Crime Awareness Week in partnership with the Police and Crime Commissioner in order to highlight the issue of hate crime. The campaign aims to give people a better understanding of what hate crime is and encourage victims of hate incidents to report them.
