The Strategic Director Place submitted a report (Document “Y”) which gave an update on the progress achieved towards addressing the locality-wide priorities set out in the Shipley Locality Plan during 2023.     

The Shipley Area Coordinators and the Shipley Area Committee Chair were present at the meeting to explain the activities undertaken over the past year, and respond to Members’ questions.

A brief overview was given around the delivery of the Locality Plan and examples given of projects undertaken to date.  It was explained that all the actions were being RAG rated with a view to eliminating all the reds.  Progress to date on all the priorities was good and equality and diversity considerations had been embedded in all the actions. Working with young people around anti-social behaviour through a theatre company and supporting young people with LGBTq+ issues were given as examples of the work undertaken.  Work to support older people isolated during the pandemic was also alluded to, with a view to reengaging them back into the community.  A group supporting women going through the menopause was also cited as well as work around biodiversity through reducing the use of Glyphosate and reducing grass cutting by creating more wild meadows, the success of which would be extended to other parts of the Shipley constituency.

The Chair of Shipley Area Committee stated that community partnerships was a key area of activity by trying to get different communities on board; work around getting Purple Flag status for Bingley was also important, so that Bingley was recognised as a safe town, and if successful, this could be rolled to other areas of the district.

The Leader stated that regarding community health partnerships, currently they were not co-terminus with the Wards, and she ascertained what work was taking place to build better links with them, and to make sure we work better going forward.  In response it was stressed that this was being progressed through the Shipley Area Leadership Team and that there was an officer who worked across the constituency to pull together this piece of work and this was already paying dividend.

The Regeneration Planning and Transport Portfolio Holder welcomed the plan and the regeneration ambitions set out therein and stated that the Towns Funds was a key component, together with the localities work taking place. The Leader added that more signage and publicity around biodiversity would assist in getting the message across of why we were doing this and the benefits that would accrue.

Resolved –

(1)      The Executive commented on the Shipley Locality Plan –                       Progress Update 2023, as set out in Appendix 1 to Document “Y”.

(2)      The that the Shipley Area Co-ordinators, accompanied by the    Chair of Shipley Area Committee, be requested to present a            progress report to the Executive in 12 months time, setting out     the progress and achievements made for each of the priorities detailed in the Shipley Locality Plan during 2023/24.
