Making Change Happen 77 Communications The award winning A650 Bingley Relief Road has successfully removed through traffi c from Bingley and has become a key catalyst for regeneration in and around the town centre. It has also improved links between Keighley and the heart of the City Region, demonstrating the importance of the A650 as a strategic route and providing justifi cation to bring forward further improvements at existing bottlenecks, including Hard Ings Road and Saltaire Roundabout. The proposed Shipley Eastern Link Road provides a similar regeneration opportunity by addressing the highway severance that is the root cause of many of Shipley’s current failings.

  • Bradford Canal: Rebuilding a Lost Waterway
    AINA CASE STUDY PLACE MAKING AND SHAPING Bradford Canal: rebuilding a lost waterway Bold plans for city centre regeneration include linking a new canal to a major civic space The Bradford Canal was built as a five kilometre spur off the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, but closed in 1922 due to dwindling traffic and unreliable water supply. Today, little evidence remains of its former route. In 2003 a masterplan prepared for Bradford city centre focussed on the use of water as a catalyst for the city’s future regeneration, and a range of innovative proposals included the reintroduction of the canal. Since then a great deal of progress has been made to determine a practical and deliverable route for the new waterway, using a route which would minimise costs whilst maximising the regeneration potential within the canal corridor. A new canal would extend the national network, though the prime aim would be to encourage large scale improvement within some of the more deprived parts of Bradford. The canal would form the physical thread to link a series of development sites and make them more attractive to developers and investors through increased land and development values. Further development work has been undertaken to ensure connections with a series of water-based projects, including the new City Park, complete with lake, adjacent to City Hall. This project started on site in November 2009 and will be complete in summer 2011. It is believed to be the largest public realm regeneration project in Europe, and key to its success has been a detailed analysis of the hydrology and flood risk issues which will ensure practical connectivity of water supply between the park and the future canal.

  • Bramhope Newsletter Spring 2021
    BRAMHOPE & CARLTON VILLAGE NEWSLETTER SPRING 2021 Photograph by Richard Wilkinson A warm welcome to the new residents of Spring Wood Park. Moving house at any time can be stressful but I'm sure it has had additional complications during lockdown. Hopefully you are now settling into your new homes and, as the restrictions begin to ease towards the summer, you will soon enjoy becoming part of the vibrant community in Bramhope. In welcoming the new residents, I was reminded just how fortunate we are in Bramhope and Carlton. There is so much to enjoy here. Not only do we have easy access to country walks and the Yorkshire Dales, but there are so many activities within the village, many of which you will read about in this Newsletter. Under normal circumstances, Bramhope Village Hall is a hub of activities, ranging from groups for young mums and toddlers to the more sedate art classes and bridge clubs. For the more active there are tennis, bowls and table tennis, not to forget the West Park Rugby Club. The Recreation ground hosts football and cricket matches as well as providing plenty of room for play and dog walking. For younger children there is The Knoll playground. The Women's Institute group known as the Bramhope Rolling Scones meets regularly and during the winter months a Film Club is run at the Methodist Church. St Giles' Church also hosts varied activities. We have a wonderful selection of local shops and businesses, all of which have provided a vital service during lockdown. You will read in the Newsletter of the work undertaken by Bramhope in Bloom who always keep the village looking at its best, and of the tireless efforts of Dementia Friendly Bramhope who have done their best to ensure that those with dementia and their carers have been contacted during lockdown.

  • Esholt, Guiseley, Hawksworth Circular. (Bluebell Woods and Golf Courses)
    LOCKDOWN WALK ROUTE NUMBER 5: May 2020. ESHOLT, GUISELEY, HAWKSWORTH CIRCULAR. (BLUEBELL WOODS AND GOLF COURSES) A circular walk of 7½ miles. The walk description starts and ends at the Baildon Railway Station, but for those of you who are familiar with Baildon, there are opportunities for you to link into or out of the route at several other places – or to adapt it to your own interests. As this route has been written up during lockdown, we have tried to avoid narrow ginnels and footpaths. There is one short section of constrained ginnel during this route (as you leave Guiseley) but it is short enough to be able to reverse and operate a one-way system if someone is coming the other way. Remember to take care and stay at least two metres apart. As all cafes are closed, we recommend that you take water, or perhaps a coffee flask, and something to eat. ROUTE DESCRIPTION. Take the rising steps at the far end of the station platform and turn R to cross the footbridge over the railway line. Immediately turn Left on to a track and continue ahead to reach Roundwood Road. Cross when safe to do so and take the first road on the Left (Langley Lane), and Right again, soon, into Hollin Head. Continue on pavement to the end of the housing on Left and turn Left on track (Lonk House Lane). Cross stile and descend, bearing Left by War Memorial. Pass through two gates to descend on stony to track to Tong Park Reservoir (photo1).

  • Saltaire Bingley and Nab Wood
    SALTAIRE, BINGLEY & NAB WOOD A 5.5 mile easy going walk, mainly at the side of the Leeds/Liverpool Canal and the River Aire with a pleasant halfway stop in Myrtle Park, Bingley, with no stiles and just one short hill through Nab Wood. At the end of the walk, do allow time to explore Salts Mill (see below). Start point: Saltaire Station, Victoria Road, Saltaire (trains every 30 minutes from Leeds). SALTAIRE is the name of a Victorian era model village. In December 2001, Saltaire was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. This means that the government has a duty to protect the site. The buildings belonging to the model village are individually listed, with the highest level of protection being given to the Congregational Church (since 1972 known as the United Reformed Church) which is listed grade I. The village has survived remarkably complete. Saltaire was founded in 1853 by Sir Titus Salt, a leading industrialist in the Yorkshire woollen industry. The name of the village is a combination of the founder's surname with the name of the river. Salt moved his entire business (five separate mills) from Bradford to this site near Shipley partly to provide better arrangements for his workers than could be had in Bradford and partly to site his large textile mill by a canal and a railway. Salt built neat stone houses for his workers (much better than the slums of Bradford), wash-houses with running water, bath-houses, a hospital, as well as an Institute for recreation and education, with a library, a reading room, a concert hall, billiard room, science laboratory and gymnasium.
