A new food bank and baby bank has been opened to help those in crisis within the Airedale community
Over lockdown, The Airedale Neighbourhood Management Board, who are a longstanding community group, has overseen the setting up of a new food bank and a baby bank in Airedale, to be managed by a subcommittee.
After realising how many people were in crisis during the pandemic, the foodbank have sworn to assist those who are in dire need of food and baby goods, as a result of loss of work, benefit changes, delays in wage payments or having to self-isolate.

Plans to build 112 homes on arable land near the coast have been approved - despite concerns that the plot was supposed to be used for employment purposes.
This included eight two-bed flats, 35 two-bed houses, 43 three-bed houses and 24 four-bed houses - with the developer vowing to make room for open spaces throughout.
According to planning officer Gordon Sutherland, the proposal is sustainable, with utility services and the doctor s surgery confirming they could cope with extra demand.
