Cleaner safer greener Eccleshill

The Eccleshill Urban Village Partnership is encouraging residents to get involved with a range of activities at a fun and consultation day on September 3rd. The purpose of the day is to have a good look round the village, hear residents' views on how the area can be improved, and have some fun.

"This is a chance for residents to get involved with their village and have a say in how it will look in the future," said a spokesman for the Council. "We are really keen to hear people's views on how the Council and the Urban Village Partnership can make a difference."

There will be a chance to find out more about the Eccleshill Urban Village Partnership's action plan and the money available for projects around the village.

The Council's Anti-Crime Partnership Officer will be carrying out a visible audit of the village with the help of a group of young people and the Youth Service. The officer will also be interested in hearing people's views on promoting a Shop Watch scheme and will be distributing crime prevention advice and equipment.

The Council's Cleansing and Visible Services will be promoting recycling and providing information about waste management sites and the village clean-up which will take place on September 10th.

West Yorkshire Fire Service will also be promoting their home fire safety check service, and West Yorkshire Police will be giving advice on crime prevention, neighbourhood policing teams and tackling drug dealing through their "Dob in a Dealer" campaign.

For the children, there will be a range of fun activities including 5-aside football, penalty shoot out and "It's a Knock Out" Competition, organised by the Council's Youth Service. Officers will also be asking children and their parents their views on play facilities in the area.

"There will be plenty of opportunity for fun, particularly for the children, but also for adults to find out how these agencies can work together with communities to create cleaner, safer places to live and work," said the Council spokesman.

The day will be followed a week later with a village clean-up to take place on September 10th.

For further details, you can contact Bernard Dunwoodie, the Officer, on 431066.

The Urban Village Partnership has also been thinking about other ways of helping the village centre to make a comeback, including the possibility of different car-parking arrangements, and Christmas lights.
