Dog Control

Success in the sun....and the dark.

The recent unseasonal weather has seen huge numbers of skaters using the new facility at Calder Holmes. As part of our agreement with the funders we continue to monitor numbers and they are well beyong what we had hoped for.
We started counting after dark last week and were surprised to find 22 skaters using the park at 8.30 pm on a Thursday evening.

I am chuffed to see that the skate park is working, and used by more and more of our young people but even happier to not be facing the winter just yet.

Rising Fast

As we look out of the window, in fact I am sure many can see from their windows, the new part of the Town Hall is starting to take shape.

The Town Hall is starting to become a popular location for meetings and some of the meeting rooms are rarely free, all bodes well for the future of the Town Councils home.

The mumblings appear to have dried up of late, I can only apologise. I'll try to keep you posted on the happenings now with more regularity - a post summer holiday resolution.
While I have been away I was approached by a fellow tourist about Hebden Bridges aim to become the greenest in the land, it appeared Transition Towns had been heard of as far south as Shrewsbury.
After a conversation about the activities in Hebden Bridge the gentleman commended the Towns efforts and wished us well. Lets hope he tells more about our town and gets other places to join us. Well done to all who strive to achieve this goal and hopefully as HRTC looks to adopt a way of reducing our carbon emissions we'll be able to do our little bit.

Its been some time since the last post. Along with a few holidays we have been busy working with Calderdale MBC on the Picture House. In the next few weeks we should have the relaunch of the Friends of the Picture House as well as confirming the general good health of the building. Its then onto looking at how we can improve the facilities with our budgets, most importantly of all the digitalisation of the cinema.

The Handmade Parade
