  • THE CHURCH of ST JOHN the EVANGELIST BEN RHYDDING ILKLEY in the Diocese of Bradford
    THE CHURCH OF ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST BEN RHYDDING ILKLEY In the Diocese of Bradford St John’s, Ben Rhydding Parish Profile Introduction St John’s is the Parish Church of Ben Rhydding and is part of the Otley Deanery in the Diocese of Bradford. It is the only Church of England church in Ben Rhydding. The churchmanship is open evangelical with a welcoming atmosphere and a broad based spirituality. The church is diverse in nature, offering a wide range of activities that enable members to experience Jesus and grow spiritually in a way that is meaningful for them personally. The congregation is drawn largely from the middle class community of the parish itself, with approximately 25% of the congregation coming from outside the parish. At the AGM in March 2006, there were 162 members on the Electoral Roll, of whom two- thirds were women of various ages. There are also a significant number of families in their 30’s. We have very few members in the age range 18-30, young single people or people from the ‘social housing’ area of the parish. St John's recently enjoyed a year of Centenary Celebrations, the foundation stone having been laid in October 1905. Besides the church building itself there is now a large hall, a parish lounge and a meeting room, all of which are in excellent condition. The Parish of Ben Rhydding Ben Rhydding is a very pleasant residential area situated at the eastern fringe of Ilkley, between the moors and the A65. Ilkley itself is a small resort town on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales with a good range of local amenities.

  • Penalty Trial to Tackle West Yorkshire Train Fare Evaders
    NEWS RELEASE 16 November 2017 Penalty trial to tackle West Yorkshire train fare evaders Northern is to tackle fare evaders in West Yorkshire with the trial of a new approach to penalty fares. The trial, which will be conducted on the Airedale and Wharfedale lines, will see the introduction of on-the-spot fines for people who haven’t bought a ticket before boarding a train. From 6 December customers travelling without a ticket on a Northern train anywhere between Leeds and Bradford Forster Square, Leeds/Bradford and Ilkley, or Leeds/Bradford and Skipton, could face a penalty fare of £20. Paul Barnfield, Regional Director for Northern, said: “Sadly there is a minority who believe they have a right to travel without buying a ticket. Their selfish actions reduce the overall income of the rail industry and, as a result, reduces the money available to invest in further improvements to the railway. “Everyone who travels by train should have a valid ticket or pass. Or must be able to demonstrate they have made every effort to buy a ticket before they boarded. “If they are unable to do either of these then, from 6 December, our authorised collectors will be on hand to either issue £20 fines or ask customers to pay double the cost of a single ticket to their destination.” As part of Northern’s ongoing modernisation of the rail network, significant investment has been made in introducing new ticket machines to give customers more choice and greater ease when buying their tickets. Paul added: “We have invested in new state-of-the-art ticket machines at all stations on the Airedale and Wharfedale lines.

PURPOSE OF THE MANAGEMENT PLAN The Ben Rhydding Gravel Pits Reserve is managed by the Wharfedale Naturalists Society (WNS) in partnership with City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (CBMDC). The Management Plan identifies the aims for the reserve and sets out management objectives and practical tasks necessary to achieve these aims. The purpose of the plan is to provide a systematic and objective framework to give predictability, stability and continuity to management actions. The plan is based on the assumption that much of the work on the site will be undertaken by volunteers, but with support from the Council, who will undertake the major tasks (specifically identified in the plan eg that will require machine input). All the plans of this nature reserve need to be re-visited from time to time. This is particularly the case here given that whilst WNS have been monitoring the site for many years, they have only recently been actively involved in managing the site.
