MORE than £9,000 funding has been approved to help refurbish the facilities at Guiseley Theatre. The three Guiseley and Rawdon ward councillors approved the grant from their discretionary wellbeing funds to revamp and turn the men’s toilets into a modern, unisex facility with baby changing facilities. It is believed that making the space unisex will mean shorter queues for theatre users. With the theatre closed due to Covid restrictions, now was seen as the perfect time to complete the disruptive work and the ward councillors say they are delighted to be able to award the grant to complete the work.

WARD councillors have approved funding that paves the way for bands to play in three Guiseley and Rawdon parks this summer. Cllrs Paul Wadsworth, and Pat and Graham Latty are giving money from their discretionary Wellbeing Funds to provide a band to play in Nunroyd Park, Micklefield Park and Springfield Park, as part of the ‘Summer Bands in the Parks’ series planned for 2021. The concerts will be free for all to attend. Cllr Paul Wadsworth said:“We really welcome the return of live music to our parks. These bands will provide a great opportunity for local residents to get out and about in the sunshine, enjoy their parks and support local businesses. With a vaccine for Covid-19 on the way, we look forward to this live music as part of a great summer where the community can get out and see each other again.”
