Following our recent local consultation about what new play items residents would like to see, Wrose Parish Council has agreed to fund two new pieces of play equipment for Claremount Park.

• A small slide suitable for younger children
• A double swing for older children with one flat and one inclusive seat

We’ll now be working with Bradford Metropolitan District Council to source the equipment and arrange installation in the park.

Once installed, Bradford Metropolitan District Council will take care of the ongoing inspections and maintenance of the new items as part of the wider play-area management.

We’ll share another update as soon as the equipment is in place. Thanks to everyone who took part in the consultation — your feedback is helping to shape a better play space for local families.

Wrose Parish Council have announced that the popular all-day music event, Wrose Live!, will be back at The Bold Privateer on Saturday 25 July and this year it will be ‘bigger and better’ than ever before.

The event sees the car park at The Bold Privateer turned into a gig space, with seating and food for gig goers and live music from 11:30am to 4:30pm with a DJ playing inside the pub in the evening for those who want to continue the entertainment.

Popular Wrose business Rita’s Indian Kitchen will be providing hot food all day, “We’ve got a fantastic menu to tickle your taste buds! Whether you are vegan or love a chicken curry, we have everything from the classic Indian street food such as samosa chaat to burgers with a bhaji!”

The music is organised by Bren Travis of Live at the Lounge, who said, “Once again Wrose Live! brings you some of the area’s best upcoming and established bands including The Idle Crooner, Least We Got Shoes, Havoc City and Henrys Radio, back-to-back and in the sun for Wrose’s fastest-growing community festival.”

Tammy Marie, Landlord for The Bold Privateer, said, “It’s a great pleasure to be co-hosting this fantastic community event for the third year. It’s a great day for all the community to come together and see what the best of our local talent has to offer.”

This year’s event is being kindly supported by SetStage stage and sound hire, who are building the stage for free in a generous contribution to the community.

Councillor Alex Ross-Shaw, local ward councillor and Chair of Wrose Parish Council, who are funding the event, said, “We’re so pleased to be delivering Wrose Live! for a third year, and even more so that SetStage are so kindly building us a proper stage to really make the event bigger and better than ever before. It’s a great day for people to come down and enjoy live music in a great, friendly setting and we’d like to thank everyone involved, particularly Tammy and the team at The Bold Privateer, who make this happen.”

 

Wrose Parish Council is pleased to have provided support to Wrose Runners by helping to keep members warm, visible and safe during their running sessions.

Some warm running hats and glow light bands have been donated to the group, ensuring runners are better protected during the colder, darker months. The simple but effective light bands make a real difference to safety for those running in the evenings.

Wrose Runners are a local group that encourage fitness, well being and community spirit and welcome new attendees. A representative from the group said  “We meet every Thursday at 6.45pm at the Wrose Rock at top of Carr Lane. We run different routes and distances each week between 5-8k. All abilities are welcome and we have people of all age groups and abilities that currently run with us. We’re totally free so just rock up and run with us! ”

Wrose Parish Council wishes Wrose Runners every success and many safe miles ahead

Wrose Parish Council has been busy adding to the plants in the barrier baskets near Low Ash School to keep them blooming through the winter months. Besides the existing wallflowers, these baskets now include bright primulas, cheerful winter pansies, and vibrant cyclamen, all helping to add colour to the area even as the weather turns colder. The seasonal plants were chosen for their ability to thrive through the winter and provide a welcoming scene for everyone passing by.

Councillor Gillian Thorne led the planting effort and was captured in action. While working she was delighted to receive a compliment from a local resident who said they appreciated the display.
