PEOPLE across two communities are being urged to have their say over Bradford Council’s newly-published Local Plan. Craven-ward district councillor Adrian Naylor is encouraging residents in Silsden and Steeton-with-Eastburn to examine the document and give their views. The draft Local Plan outlines the likely location for where tens of thousands of new homes in the Bradford district will be built by 2038. Sites are allocated that will be used to meet Government-appointed housing targets and help shape planning decisions. The hefty document also includes locations for future employment sites. Cllr Naylor said: “Bradford has had to review its core strategy, which has led to a change in the housing numbers that various towns and villages such as Silsden and Steeton-with-Eastburn have been allocated – together with the sites where these houses are to be located.

And those behind the initiative are delighted with the initial response. Silsden’s Green Ring celebrates the town’s flora and fauna and the “richness and diversity” of its natural environment. There is a particular emphasis on ancient fields and footpaths that link Brown Bank Lane with the hamlets of Brunthwaite and Swartha. The film was commissioned by Silsden Campaign for the Countryside and produced by professional film-maker Liam JM Wilson, who was brought-up in the town. Campaign chairman, Mark Wogden, said the production – released via silsdencountryside.org and the group’s Facebook page – had attracted hugely-positive feedback. “The film went live to a very warm reception in the community,” he said.
