Baildon Parish Council

The consultation period for the Playbuilder scheme has now been completed, and although the response was slightly dissapointing we do have something to work on. These results have been sent to the design team who will now come up with something that we hope will exceptable to the Playbuilder panel. The completion date for this project will be March 2011.

I've now set up a facebook account so that you can post your suggestions to me, I've included a few photos to give you some ideas, the theme of the play area is to use natural elements like, Rocks, wood, sand, mounds of earth etc.

Tong Park Playground has been selected to receive funding from the Government backed Playbuilder scheme, this funding is aimed at providing exciting and challenging play facilities for children and young people. This is a substantial amount of money that will completely transform the much outdated play area off Otlet Road. As part of the design of the play area I am asking for your thoughts on what you would like to achieve from this funding, this is your play area we need your ideas. Watch out on this website for further details.

Motorcycles and 4 x 4's on Baildon Moor have been a problem over many years, recent closures of recognised sites in the area has resulted in increased activity in and around Baildon Moor and Shipley Glen. It is not only illegal to use motor vehicles in these locations but it is also causing a nuisance and danger to other users of the moors. Quite often the vehicles are used on public roads to get to these locations without the correct insurance or equipment, in some instances stolen vehicles have been used. I have liased with West Yorkshire Police and the Countryside service to try and solve the problem, steps where possible will be taken to prevent people from braking the law in this area. The Police need reliable information as to when and where these incidents are taking place to formulate a plan of action. If you do see a motorcycle or 4 x 4 on the moor or Shipley Glen then contact West Yorkshire Police on 0845 6060606, A popular location for the motorcycles is the old quarry at the far end of Shipley Glen just before the track to Crook Farm Caravan Park.
