The Parish Council will be holding an Open Day on Saturday 19th November starting at 11am in the Village Hall. You may remember the last Open Day was in February 2020 and just a month later we were in lockdown!

If you run a group in the village and would like a table to showcase what you do, please email bradleysbothparishcouncil@gmail.com to book a space.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the period of National Mourning when no public notices can be published. The Bradleys Both Parish Council meeting that was due to be held on 20th September will now take place on Tuesday 27th September at 7.30pm in the Methodist chapel schoolroom.

 

Bradley Show will go ahead on Sunday 11th September. However, to mark the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth there will be an announcement at 12 noon, followed by 2 minutes silence and the National Anthem. There will be a Book of Condolence in a gazebo at the Show for anyone who would like to leave a message. On Monday the Book will be available to view and sign in the Village Hall Committee room until after the day of the funeral. It was felt that this was the best way for the Community to come together to remember and what the Queen would have wanted…business as usual.

Books of Condolence have also been opened at Skipton Town Hall and at the Council offices in Belle Vue Square, Skipton. An online book of condolence is available via Buckingham Palace’s website at https://www.royal.uk

It is with great sadness that Bradleys Both Parish Council learnt of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Our condolences are extended to King Charles III and all the Royal Family. RIP

Queen Elizabeth II 1926 – 2022

Sunday 11th September 2022 on Bradley Playing field.

The Canal & River Trust are going to try a temporary fix to let the canal reopen in the next two weeks.  We’ll do this by clearing the bed of the canal and placing supports over the top of the culvert to reduce the weight on them and prevent it collapsing further, and then relining over the top to prevent leakage through from the canal into the culvert.  It is hoped this work will be done by 9^th July. 

“The design work on the permanent fix can then continue until approximately September, then we can plan the works in canal closure window this winter if all goes well with the temporary fix.”

The tow path will be closed while the temporary fix is carried out and then again in the winter for several months while the permanant repair is done.
