The Kirkstall valley is one of Leeds’ best kept secrets, an under-used green space rich in industrial history and providing a haven for wildlife. The new park will be a vital community resource, providing accessible open space close to thousands of homes, offering sustainable commuting and opportunities for healthy activities to improve health and wellbeing. The floods of 2015 bought national attention to the area and with increasing public interest there has never been a better time to push forward the proposals to deliver benefits to surrounding communities, visitors, the environment and for economic development. Kirkstall Valley Park, along with other initiatives in the valley, can play a key role in achieving the Leeds Initiative of Best City in the UK by 2030.” Bernard Atha Chair of The Kirkstall Valley Park Board 2017 4 KIRKSTALL VALLEY PARK – A STRATEGY FOR DELIVERY Introduction Kirkstall Bramley and Stanningley KVP Armley LEEDS CITY CENTRE Kirkstall Valley Park Purpose of the Study Kirkstall Valley Park (KVP) is an area of green space to The Key Moves study has been commissioned by Leeds the west of Leeds city centre that lies in the valley of Beckett on behalf of Kirkstall Valley Park, sponsored the River Aire.

    A Lunchtime Stroll in Leeds City Centre

    2 kilometres / 30 minutes to 1 hour. Accessibility – All this route is on pavements and avoids steps. A lunchtime stroll in Leeds City Centre There are numerous bridges and river crossings in Leeds. However, there is only one referred to affectionately as “Leeds Bridge”. This is where our walk starts. There has been some form of crossing here since the middle ages. The bridge you see today was built out of cast iron in the early 1870's. In 1888 the bridge was witness to a world first. The “Father of Cinematography”, Louis Le Prince, shot what is considered to be the world’s earliest moving pictures from the bridge. © It's No Game (cc-by-sa/2.0) Walk across Leeds Bridge and take a right along Dock Street. Dock Street began its life as a commercial entity in the 1800's. Then, during the Industrial Revolution, the canal network provided the catalyst for the city's growth. As its name suggests, boats used to dock along Dock Street. A deep dock allowed the loading and unloading of barges into warehouses. Today Dock Street still looks familiar, but the warehouses have become housing and business spaces. Converted and conserved in the 1980's. Continuing along Dock Street you will pass Centenary Bridge. This bridge was built in 1993 to celebrate 100 years since Leeds was granted city status. It also created better pedestrian access across the Aire. Dock Street c. 1930 By kind permission of Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net Continue along Dock Street and you will come to Brewery Wharf.

The Team’s name references Kirkstall Abbey, one of the most complete examples of a medieval Cistercian abbey in Britain, set in parkland along the banks of the River Aire and in the parish of St Stephen’s. Abbeylands is a vibrant area of Leeds, home to young professionals, students, families, older and retired people, with a relatively small BME population, mainly of East European, Asian or Afro- Caribbean origin. The area has good communication links via road, rail and air, and there are good primary and secondary schools. Whilst forming part of suburban Leeds, the area has many woods, open green spaces and parkland. Work has recently begun on a number of new housing developments along the banks of the River Aire, most particularly at ‘Kirkstall Forge’ with a new railway station and office developments. The Team Ministry was established in November 2011 with a Team Rector (living in Horsforth) and a Team Vicar (living in Hawksworth Wood) covering three parishes and four churches. The present Team Rector was appointed in May 2013 and the Team Vicar joined us soon afterwards, moving to his present role in January 2018 The new post of ‘Mission Priest’ is intended to develop outreach, particularly to the new communities along the banks of the River Aire.

    Boston Spa Heritage List

    Boston Spa Heritage List Archaeology, Ecology, Geology & History compiled by Boston Spa Archaeology and Heritage Group for Boston Spa Parish Council Boston Spa Heritage List Archaeology, Ecology, Geology and History Sites compiled by Boston Spa Archaeology & Heritage Group This is a list of Local Heritage Assets in Boston Spa compiled by Boston Spa Archaeology & Heritage Group, in association with West Yorkshire Archaeology Advisory Service, and agreed by the Group’s Committee in July 2013. The BSA&H Group believes that these local heritage features are worthy of preservation as far as is reasonably practical and that the Neighbourhood Plan should include a policy to protect and conserve, enhance and interpret these features for the future benefit of residents. At a meeting on September 16th 2013 Boston Spa Parish Council formally agreed that the list should be adopted within the Neighbourhood Plan and periodically reviewed and updated. Inclusion on the list does not necessarily imply public access to sites or that they are accessible or safe to visit. Any recommendations included are for guidance only. The map indicates approximate locations of assets. For exact locations see listed Grid References. © BSAHG. Version dated 17/9/2013 Introduction and Background to the ‘Local Heritage List’ Scheme In 2012 West Yorkshire Archaeology Advisory Service invited several local archaeological groups in West Yorkshire to liaise more closely with them to ‘protect our heritage’ and help them be more informed about heritage features valued by local communities in order to be in a better position to respond to planning issues. The idea is to help protect the 90% of ‘undesignated’ heritage assets and sites not already protected by being ‘scheduled’.

    Tackling the Holiday Hunger, Holiday Inactivity and Holiday Isolation Faced by Some of the Poorest Children in Leeds, and Often Their Families, Too

    About Healthy Holidays Healthy Holidays is now in its third year – tackling the holiday hunger, holiday inactivity and holiday isolation faced by some of the poorest children in Leeds, and often their families, too. Leeds Community Foundation delivers this programme with support from Leeds City Council, and from local food partners FareShare Yorkshire and Rethink Food. In 2019, Leeds Healthy Holidays reached 5,441 young people and 903 parents/carers through 77 community-based partners delivering a range of fun and engaging activities, all of which included at least one nutritious meal. Healthy Holidays 2020 – Covid Response In the face of Covid-19 crisis, Leeds Community Foundation (LCF) and Leeds City Council have been actively working with food provision charities and local community organisations on an Emergency Food Provision Process to deliver much-needed food and support to these vulnerable children, their families and other vulnerable adults. As an immediate response to lockdown, LCF funded 31 community organisations to provide “Healthy Holidays Covid-19 Response” projects; these have generally provided food parcels alongside a combination of online activities and activity boxes delivered to the doorstep. Activities vary with each project, and includes sport, physical activity, creative arts, cookery, indoor/outdoor gardening and mental wellbeing support. Some groups are also using group chat, video-conferencing and livestreaming to engage and support their children and families. Projects have been encouraged to post activity on social media using the hashtag #HHLeedsCovid19. LCF secured additional funding from Direct Line & National Emergency Fund (NET), and successfully secured funding from Department for Education for provision during the summer holidays.
