Open letter from www.nocoxleyturbines.co.uk Action Group

Wind Turbines are back on the agenda. Action group formed..

Sitlington Parish Council are about to launch into phase 2 of a feasibility study on the sitting of 2 large wind turbines. (80 m ground to hub with 50m blades total height 130m). The proposed site is understood to be somewhere between Carr Lane and Smithy Lane in Middlestown.

This project has been underway for the last 12 months although very little information has been issued from the Parish Council. Despite repeated requests from several members of the public access to phase 1 report has continually been denied. After much debate at the February parish meeting it was finally agreed that a ‘public consultation’ was necessary.

It appears however, that this meeting will be predominantly hosted by the wind turbine developers who clearly have a hugely vested interest in selling us their products. This will not present local residents with an objective view and will only provide one very loaded view of an extremely contentious and political issue.

Both meetings are planned for the same day and time, which may well be a divide and conquer tactic! Meetings have finally been confirmed today for Thursday 1st March at 7pm at both Schools in Middlestown and Netherton.

A significant number of concerned residents have formed an action group to raise awareness of these proposals within the community and have launched a petition to make their views clear to the Parish Council who seem totally unaware of the great depth of feeling that this matter has created.

To show your support visit www.nocoxleyturbines.co.uk or email us at info@nocoxleyturbines.co.uk Petitions are available in various pubs and newsagents in the village or can be signed on line via the link above.

The next parish council meeting is planned for Tuesday 6th March which again we look for your support in expressing your concerns and bring this project to a halt.

We totally understand and accept the need for ‘green’ energy but request the council take time to look at other more proven alternatives and not to impose this monstrosity on our beautiful landscape.

Netherton And District Women’s Institute - Spring News 2012

Latest news from Netherton WI.

Welcome to our 2012 Programme! Here is a taster for the next 3 months (you will already have missed January and February by the time you read this for which I humbly apologise!)

January’s speaker was Mrs Molly Urquhart who gave a lively talk about her time spent in Gibraltar just before handover back to Spain and where her husband was in the RAF. She told us particularly about a giant supermarket auction which she and her two friends visited and where everything was in enormous boxes and you really had no idea what you were buying until afterwards (a bit like a silent auction). They had agreed beforehand to split their purchases three ways and the rest of her talk was given over to how she managed to offload everything she didn’t want by exchanging it for things she did want, and make a profit!

14th February’s meeting is still to come as I write this. Our speaker is Donald Woolley and his talk is entitled “Every Picture Tells a Story”. Donald has spoken to us before about the Mission Aviation Fellowship – if you remember, his was the one that was snowed off the first time. If this talk is half as good as his first one it will be excellent.

March 13th should see us with laughter guaranteed courtesy of Wakefield Movie Makers and their Road Show. We are looking forward very much to this – why not put the date in your diary and join in the fun?

10th April’s speaker is Mr Michael Duncombe and his talk is entitled “Curtain Up”. Don’t have more detail about this but it sounds interesting doesn’t it?

Just a brief mention of May – Mrs Cynthia Thewlis “From Sheep to Shawl”. More details next time – watch this space!

Just a reminder – February’s meeting is at 2.00 pm; after that we are back to evenings at 7.15 pm, all in the Trinity Methodist Schoolroom and still only £1 at the door which includes tea/coffee and biscuits.
More details – please ring Eileen on 01924 275276.

Response to wind turbines debate

"Rather than obtaining grants which benefit the Wind Turbine developer and land owne, the parish council should be applying for grants for non-intrusive Photovoltaic Solar Panels and Solar Water panels for our village schools..".

The summer issue of Coxley News published information about a potential project for use of wind turbine technology in Sitlington.


Shaun Luty writes:

"The Coxley wind turbine(s) plan will not benefit the local community so why is our Councillor Nigel Brook supporting the Coxley wind turbine(s) plan? Councillor Nigel Brook should be listening and acting in the interests of the community that elected him, as should the local parish council.

"Rather than obtaining grants which benefit the Wind Turbine developer and land owner, the parish council should be applying for grants for non-intrusive Photovoltaic Solar Panels and Solar Water panels for our village schools. Grants are available for these low impact ‘green energy schemes’ which are a better fit with our local conservation areas. Solar for schools would reduce the schools electricity and hot water bills and would generate an income from the government FIT scheme to help them offset utility bills and use those on-going saving to purchase much needed equipment and books for improving the education of the children of our communities. In these times of economic uncertainty the proposed Coxley wind turbine(s) needs a serious rethink!."

3rd Feburary 2012

Ian Kirby writes:

"I am somewhat alarmed by the proposal to place wind turbines in the Coxley Valley area.

"I believe the environmental impact is well argued elsewhere, but I wish to make a point about the claim that the turbines will generate 13.8 GWh of energy. I am assuming this figure is the potential energy (please correct me if I am wrong), as it is always this potential which is stated when proposals are made.

"E-ON did some extensive work involving two very large sites in Germany and Holland and published their findings which concluded that the energy efficiency was between 8 and 10%, surprising themselves as it was far lower than even they predicted. Even when networked the two sites produced the same efficiencies (8-10%).

"In addition more traditional power plants such as coal or gas need to be running at around 85 - 90% in order to ‘kick in’ whenever the wind turbines are not producing the energy expected (days with little wind ( Beaufort 6)).

"Within the local authority for which I work we have pushed renewables with a number of buildings now having wind turbines. According to their own figures on one of their buildings two turbines had a potential for 105 GWh per year, but the actual figure was just short of 10GWh, just under 10% efficiency, tallying with the E-ON data. At another location they quoted 25% efficiency during the planning stage, but are producing only 10.5% efficiency.

"The total value of electricity was £2000 including the value from the Renewable Obligation Certificate, but the cost of maintenance was £6000. The LA have now removed the wind turbines on top of their town centre buildings.

"The issue I have is that many of these proposals are put forward on what can only be described as non-achievable figures. Many developers factor in an efficiency coefficient of around 25%, but this is still well above the actual efficiencies achieved. I would be quite happy to reflect on these figures, but I would like evidence that a 25% efficiency is actually achieved over a twelve month period.

"The impact on the countryside of major construction work, cost to the environment of the construction, large, obtrusive towers, noise from the cavitations of the blades as well as any potential for strobe effect on nearby houses for what will probably be, at most, around 1.3 GWh of energy need very careful consideration.

"Renewables such as wind are fine and noble in principle, but there are too many questions still to be asked about their efficiencies and reliability before we start blighting the landscape further."

15th August 2011

Ian Sanderson of Middlestown writes:

"Being a resident of Middlestown and reading the last edition of the Coxley News, I was astounded that the Sitlington Parish Council would even consider the proposal or feasibility of a wind turbine farm at the top of Chapel Hill.

"I read with great interest Ron Aspinall's research into this subject and looking into it myself, would wholly agree with his assessment.

"The proposed site is an area which is used regularly by the public for outdoor pursuits such as walking, horseriding, cycling etc.

"These turbines would over-shadow the whole of Middlestown and surrounding area and any further studies into this proposal should be stopped immediately before the phase 2 study is commissioned.

"FINALLY, NO TO WIND TURBINES!"

8th July 2011

Alan Wood of Netherton writes:

"I am writing to register my concerns about the proposed wind turbines which are being considered by Sitlington Parish Council. My comments are based on the information which Ron Aspinall reported in Coxley News, which is the best we have in the absence of details from the Parish Council itself.

"My main point is that turbines 130m (approx.. 426 feet) in height to the top of the blades are totally out of scale in relation to the intimate, undulating countryside between Middlestown and Netherton in which they are to be placed. The height is almost exactly the same as the total difference between the highest (Midgley / Overton) and lowest (Calder valley) points in Sitlington parish. Turbines of this size need landscapes of a much grander scale, e.g. open moorland, to accommodate them.

"The difficulty in finding sites within the parish which fall outside the 600m minimum distance from residential development signals to me that our countryside is inappropriate for structures of this size. There is no reference to the additional impact of the access roads which would be necessary for construction and maintenance traffic or how the power generated would be connected to the national grid, all of which would be significant given the distance from public highways.

"The countryside is treasured by locals and visitors alike. The Parish Plan consultations showed that preservation of the Green Belt and the rural feel of the parish was supported by 91% of the responses; the main recommendation on Leisure, Recreation and Environment was that “the Parish Council defends the Green Belt and works … to protect, maintain and defend the countryside, its paths, bridleways and wildlife.” This area is featured in local publications of the Ramblers’ Association for its attractive undulating countryside, attractive footpaths and bridleways and open aspects.

"In the light of the above, I am surprised that, having received the initial desk top feasibility study, the Parish Council did not drop the idea at that stage. Further studies may not incur any direct cost to the parish council, but they will be funded from the public purse by taxpayers and utility bill payers. I urge the Council to think again.

"I am sending a copy of this letter to Coxley News. This matter is sufficiently important for the debate to be conducted publically so that everyone is aware of the issues being raised. The number of challenges already made to the Parish Council may be small in relation to the total electorate, but the strength of the arguments put cannot be ignored. How long is it since any other Parish Council proposal issue caused such a response?"

30th June 2011

Parish Councillor Helen Kirkpatrick (Netherton ward) writes:

"I am so sorry that the wind turbine issue was not predominant in the May elections for Sitlington Parish Council - indeed, that antagonists did not have a chance to not vote for us. As it happens, we, who were prepared to put the work in for the Parish (for no remuneration) and go to the trouble of standing for election, were returned unopposed, with 1 unfilled vacancy in Netherton Ward, and 2 in Middlestown - this despite extra publicity via the media, information sessions and so on. I am happy to report that we have now our full compliment of 5 Netherton Councillors, but to date still have 2 vacancies in Middlestown. How good it would be if those keen to complain decided to take part in our Parish democracy, and work for the better good - whether it be wind turbines or not."

20th June 2011

AJH Warbuton writes:

"Yesterday I checked out the proposed location for Sitlington PC's plans to ruin the Coxley Valley landscape. On the way, I stopped to take some photos of the phone mast on Smithy Lane, as its height (20.5m) helps to put the relative size of a wind turbine of the specification as described by Ron Aspinall (80m ground-to-hub, 3 x 50m blades giving a 100m sweep) into accurate perspective.

"Attached (bottom of page) is a document showing, exactly to scale, how such a concrete totem pole would appear, were it to be placed next to the mast (whose effect we can already see, courtesy of a short walk). Nigel Brook says that it "... would help enhance the pleasant environment in which we live." How would-be politicians abuse the meaning of language!

"I've already contacted our local WMDC councillor, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and the West Yorkshire Bat Group, asking for their support. Let's hope the very people who should be protecting our landscape and countryside rally round and stop this one before it gets any further."

26th June 2011

Phil Thorpe of Netherton writes:

"The 5th of May elections would have been the honorable time to mention turbines. The Parish budget went up 50% from £40.000 to £63.000 without consultation. This will need to rise to £200.000 within the next 5 years - my best estimate as Mr Dransfield has so far not replied to 2 emails requesting budget information."

7th June 2011

Gary Baker of Netherton writes:

"It is difficult to add to Ron Aspinall’s article in the Summer 2011 issue of Coxley News. Ron has done a very good job of highlighting the incongruity of even considering the infliction of these entirely inappropriate carbuncles upon our landscape, and the council would be doing a very good job to take heed of these views.

"On the other hand I find it difficult to reconcile Councilor Brook’s apparent delusion that these hideous monstrosities are in any way fitting or welcome in our beautiful countryside, and that the community might be rewarded with tangible financial benefits from their imposition.

"A glimpse beneath the veil of Mr Brook’s ostensibly beneficial project exposes concerns of considerable proportion.

"Origin Energy is a business who design, finance, build and operate wind farms. Note the emphasis on business.
CO2Sense helps businesses to prosper in the low-carbon economy, supported by funding from the European Regional Development Fund. All very cozy for Origin Energy and CO2Sense.
The phase 1 study considered “a visual intrusion zone showing impact of the scheme.” From who’s perspective? Not mine I’m sure.
The phase 1 report “concludes two turbines are feasible though only one might be preferred.” Preferred by whom? No mention of those preferring none. The language of the report already presumes the project has wings. Origin Energy/CO2Sense have tantalized, now they are preparing to set their hook, and once they do they could have the community at their mercy.
A phase 2 study would consider:
“the community’s choice and position of the turbines.” Again the “NO” option is not represented. Should this not have been considered at Phase 1? Should this not now be considered very carefully BEFORE being drawn into Phase 2?
“Possible conflict with airports.” If the consultants are prepared by necessity to consider potential conflict with distant airports, surely the council should in the first instance consider the inevitable conflict with the community and the impact on their landscape.
“Strategy for grid connections.” Should this not have been a Phase 1 consideration? There is potential under this heading to open up a whole new can of worms further down the process.
“financial returns to the community.” Who would the smart gambler back as the real winners here? A burgeoning and focused renewable energy business enterprise, bolstered by funding, and on the scent of another lucrative project? Or a good old dependable English village community?

"Such a scheme has no place in our environment, and I too recommend that the council should abandon this cause while the going is relatively good – just close the door, forget about it and save us all a lot of money and grief."

9th June 2011

Shaun Luty writes:

FYI – Not a green idea at all, small scale non-intrusive green energy on your domestic home yes! Large commercial wind turbines on your doorstep no thanks.

I’ve been a producer of ‘green energy’ for the past 4 years we have over 2kw of Solar PV panels bolted to our south facing roof, this low impact micro generation is the way forward to offset your electricity bills whilst the sun shines.

I’m 100% against any Wind Power on our doorstep. What’s the business case justifying this?

I use Coxley, its bridleways and paths to walk our dog and train for Triathlons, I run through this beautiful valley and don’t accept commercial gain argument.

I’m disappointed our Parish Council has been so short sighted and disconnected from the people who probably voted them into those lofty roles?

31st May 2011

Claire Jennings writes:

I am absolutely amazed - OUR parish council are seriously considering turbines of this size and magnitude on the edge of arguably our most beautiful asset??

Coxley Valley? - Really, you are surely losing your marbles?

Please remember before pushing forward with these plans that it is necessary to consult your parishioners about this. Rather than this just being contained in Coxley News, which not everyone has time to read, I would be interested to learn when you are holding a public meeting for feedback from your parishioners.

31st May 2011

Melvin Holmes of Netherton writes:

"In a world where energy demand is constantly increasing and resources diminishing, we need to look very carefully at alternative energy sources. Clearly, with a national commitment to reduce carbon emissions, we must consider environmentally friendly options which include wind turbines.

"The green energy lobby consistently assert that wind turbines run at 30% efficient levels. This figure has been proved to be incorrect after a recent independent 395 day study of the wind farms in Scotland carried out by the John Muir Trust. Their findings show that over a period of approximately 13 months the efficiency figure was in fact 22.07%. This is a significant difference and undermines the green lobby argument for energy produced from wind turbines. There is also the 'energy payback' to consider which equates to the time needed to generate the equivalent amount of energy used in the manufacture of a wind turbine which is on average 6 to 8 months. A further consideration is the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere during the construction phase of a wind turbine.

"Despite this, we still need energy and on the face of it the cost of wind energy, although variable, is 'on average' 3 - 4p per unit, for land based wind farms in a 'good location'. This compares reasonably well with new coal at 2.5 - 4.5p per unit and nuclear at 4 - 7p per unit, although these do not suffer from intermittency problems. In other words, as a top-up source although not perfect, wind turbines do provide some low efficiency energy, but at what cost?

"The cost to me would be the location. I am not a nimby but someone who believes in the value of of our beautiful countryside and Coxley Valley certainly falls under that heading. I think siting a wind turbine there would be the worst kind of rural vandalism and one that would last 20 to 25 years which is the lifetime of one. Imagine the outcry if a wind turbine were to be erected beside York Minster, or the Cow and Calf in Ilkley, or Brimham Rocks, or alongside Fountains Abbey! So why should we agree to one in our own precious rural idyll?

"If a wind turbine is to be forced upon us by our local councillors (and if that proves to be the case I will not vote for any one of them again), surely a more sensible location would be Bretton Common on the A637 Huddersfield Road? This site has good access for construction purposes, no local residents to upset and a location for wind that must be better than Coxley Valley as it is located on the very top of a hill with line of sight to another wind farm in Ingbirchworth. The area is also littered with building rubble and waste from fly tipping, so a new development might clean the area up a bit."

6th June 2011

Keith J. Hardy of Netherton writes:

"Is the Compensation protocol of 5 megawatts for potential, or actual performance? If the latter, forget profit - you would need a forest of turbines to produce the requirement. And of course you need power stations for when the wind speed is too high or low.

"Trying to pass this idea as green is wide open to debate, as when the co2 produced in the manufacture, transportation, infrastructure, installation and decomissioning are taken into account it is a very pale green to pink.

"It is all about money and my view is, wrecking the amenities and spoiling the countryside, not forgeting the wild life - you should consign this scheme to the dustbin."

25th May 2011

Ron Aspinall, Middlestown resident adds:

"Farcically, the protocol relies on installed capacity, despite the known inefficiency of onshore turbines. The Government subsidies are aimed at ticking the box for installed capacity targets regardless of the actual output. The poor efficiency of these turbines ought to count more against the justification for them and their desecration of valuable countryside than it does currently. There is a good article by Simon Jenkins in today's (Fri 27th May) Guardian on this theme."

Ian Shires of Overton writes:

"I was born and brought up in Overton and spent many happy days in
Coxley. I cannot believe that the local council can be so foolish to
suggest building wind farms in the area. The evidence for wind farms is very tenuous and the arguments against are very strong.

Please look at http://saveourseashore.org/?p=701

"A recent article on the BBC News website highlighted the problem
facing Germany. They produce more electricity from wind than any
other country. Yet when the wind stops blowing 1 in every 5 homes,
offices, factories and hospitals, etc would have to close.

"The alternative is to "switch on" the power stations. Yet they take 2 to 3 days to spin up to full power. Therefore in Germany every power station is running at full capacity in case the wind drops.

"What then is the benefit of building wind farms? The only people to benefit are those installing the turbines and those making them. The rest of us still have to pay the power companies and we have to look at the turbines."

Church Stewards : Questionnaire
A small working group, appointed by the Circuit Executive, has been established to explore how the Circuit might use its resources in the future, to help churches fulfill their mission objectives. A critical factor aligned to this is that in the summer of 2013 a significant number of presbyters will have completed their period of invitation. Consequently this gives the Circuit an opportunity to decide the shape and deployment of Circuit staff as from September 2013: such decisions will need to be made during the spring and summer of 2012.
On Friday, 6th January the Church Stewards will be meeting to discuss and complete a questionnaire sent by the working group that asks some practical questions about the life of the Methodist Churches in our Circuit, some questions about ecumenical and community relationships, questions about mission and outreach and future intent. Finally questions about Circuit support and staffing. If you would like to contribute to the Church Stewards responses please see Sandra.



Rotas

If you are willing to be responsible for after church coffee & refreshments (2nd Sunday of each month) please put your name on the rota on the notice board. Likewise if you wish to provide flowers on any Sunday in the year. Thank you – Sandra.

Parent Teachers Association of Netherton J&I School

News from the PTA.

The PTA has had another successful year. The PTA tries to raise funds to support the children and over the last year we have been able to provide the following:
A free reading book for every child in school;
Kinetic Theatre group performance for the whole school;
A year 3 “Viking Visit” (Visitors from the past)
A contribution to the parking charges at the Sports and Social Club
The new Foundation Stage climbing frame;
£50 per class for a fun event.

These donations represented a contribution of over £4000 to help the children enjoy their time at the school.

The money was raised by organising numerous events including:
Bags to School (two collections);
Christmas Fayre;
Family discos at the Sports & Social Club
Spring Fayre;
A sponsored event in which the children took an active part.

We would like to raise enough money for a new adventure play area for the older children and need everyone’s help to do this. So, please continue to give your support to PTA events. Even better, come and join us, meetings are held every few weeks on a Tuesday evening. Contact Simon Jones on 01924 276545 if you are interested.

PARENTS PLEASE NOTE – Does the company you work for offer matched funding for good causes? Many medium to large companies do, especially in the financial sector. We try to raise extra funds through such schemes where we can. Please check and contact Simon if you think you can help.

Message from the New Head of Netherton J&I School

A few words from the new Head.

As the new Headteacher of Netherton Junior and Infant School, I would like to thank the readers of the “Coxley News” for the warm welcome I have already received. Parents, staff and governors have all helped to make my first term extremely enjoyable.

I feel privileged to have joined such a happy school where people are helpful, considerate and respectful of each other. I aim to continue our vision of “Working together to create a warm, caring and secure environment where each individual feels valued and where there is an atmosphere of mutual respect, which will enable children to develop spiritually, morally, emotionally, intellectually and physically.”

I am very much looking forward to developing a happy and successful relationship with all members of our extended learning community. As a diverse and creative school we are always on the look out for helpers to come in to school who have special skills that can be shared with our children. I would like to invite readers of the “Coxley News” to contact me at school if they would like to be part of our learning family. We can offer a friendly welcome, free coffee and an opportunity to help children “Enjoy, Achieve and Aspire”.

With kind regards
Paul Brook

Ladies Circle Winter 2011 News

First I would like to thank Revd Lesley for the time she gives to taking the Said Eucharist Service on the second Tuesday of the month, and staying and enjoying the evening with us afterwards.

The Ladies Circle has been running for 21 years this year, so in September, we celebrated by having a Party (a faith supper) which was a splendid spread. We also had a birthday cake and were entertained by our friends Bob and his group.

We had our annual fund raising evening for Rosemary Donnan and her project Kenya. This year we raised £230 which went towards mosquito nets which Rosemary said 'would allow her to get lots'!

We will be having our Christmas Dinner at the Capri on Tuesday 20th December, with our very good friend Andy Woodings coming along to entertain us. We are all looking forward to this. Also we will have our New Year Party at the end of January and will be entertained by our friends Bob and his group.

The programme for next year has some very good speakers – just a taster: George Nairn Briggs – Speaking on 'Maundy Thursday'; Christine Ellis and Pat Osborne.

The Ladies Circle is an open group, very friendly and welcoming. We meet on the last and second Tuesday of the month at 8.00 pm, in the Church Hall at St Luke’s Church Overton. The second Tuesday is preceded by a Said Eucharist at 7.00 pm. The cost of the evening is £2 which includes a raffle, tea/coffee and biscuits.

Any new member would enjoy the friendship of a group of very good friends who are super in every way.

I wish everyone a peaceful and wonderful Christmas.

Chairperson

Netherton And District Women’s Institute - Winter News 2011

Latest news from Netherton WI.

After the so-called summer we had this year, the few days’ Indian Summer at the end of September was very welcome and just in time to boost our spirits before the winter which we hope this year will not be as cold and snowy as last.

September’s Hypnotherapy evening was excellent and I am sure November’s Creative Crafts will be just as good. Our October meeting is, of course, the AGM and Harvest Auction.

Our 50th Anniversary Lunch at the Swan and Cygnet on Denby Dale Road was so enjoyable (even though we didn’t ramble either before or afterwards) that we decided to make our Christmas Party on the 13th December a Christmas Lunch which we promptly booked there and then!
Our programme for next year is almost complete and promises to be as good as or if not better than last year. Don’t forget though that our meetings in January and February will be at 2.00 pm in the afternoon and not at 7.15 pm in the evening.

With Christmas once again just around the corner, how are you getting on with all your preparations? Have you ordered the turkey, bought all your presents and written all your cards? Or will you be rushing out on Christmas Eve to see what’s left in the shops?

Whether you are super organised or not, Netherton WI would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and hope to meet up with some of you ladies at one of our meetings in the not too distant future.

Please telephone Eileen on 01924 275276 if you wish to know more.
See you in 2012!

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

It’s coming!.

But hey, let’s look forward to crisp, Christmas card scenes of frost and ice, treading the first footsteps in a garden blanketed with smooth clean snow and exploring the freshness of familiar landscapes covered in white.

The outlines and foliage colours of evergreens add substance to a garden all year round, but their shapes and outlines are most rewarding during winter. Stripped to its bones by winter weather, the beauty of a garden falls back on sound basic structure rather than relying on its summer finery. This framework depends on well-shaped plants, the silhouette of trees and the flow of lawns, paths and boundaries.

Plants that display in the colder months provide the background of the winter garden. Shrubs with colourful stems, bark and twiggy outlines give a lasting beauty, while those with berries and flowers give vivid colour.

Walls and fences look best when they blend with the landscape, complementing the style of house and garden. Their structure, material, proportion and position are all made more prominent by the sparsity of winter.

Use containers to bring colour right up to the house and be sure to use a mixture of evergreens and seasonal flowers to add cheer to a window or doorway.

Winter borders of bright stems, fresh winter flowers, evergreens and the seed heads and skeletal remains of last season’s growth allow us to enjoy plants at every stage and reminisce all the different seasons of the garden.

Enjoy winter!

Netherton Garden Walk Report

Remember those warm sunny days we enjoyed last summer?.

When it was warm enough to stroll round the village at your leisure, pop into gardens to admire the displays, sit down for a cup of tea and have a chat, in the welcome shade of a tree?

If so, the chances are you are remembering the first Netherton Garden Walk last June, either as a visitor, a garden host or a provider of refreshments, or all three!

The good news to warm your heart in these winter days is that, following the success of last year’s event, it is to be repeated in 2012, sometime in June. Drawing from the experience of last year and feedback from the participants, we hope to increase the number of open gardens to cover the whole village, whilst extending the opening time. There will be the usual mix of garden types, wildlife, refreshments of various sorts and children’s activities. Further details will be unveiled in future issues of Coxley News and on the website.

Already, several people have offered to open their gardens, so now is the time to start thinking if you would be prepared to open your garden and if so planning what it will look like next June. Please give it some thought and give us a ring if you are interested. Last year’s event proved that there are plenty of hidden gems in the village and we are convinced there are many more just waiting to be discovered!

Sue and Alan Wood
01924 271210 or email suandal@btinternet.com

PS Some people have already shown interest in taking part in a similar Garden Walk, on a different day, in Middlestown / Overton. Contact us initially as above and we’ll put you in touch.

Strongman Gym

New strongman gym opens in Horbury.

We are based in Horbury (Quarry Hill Industrial Estate) and we are not a normal gym, we focus on Strongman and power lifting (we do cater for general gym goers as well at 50/50 ratio) but we have a strongman section in the gym and currently have several competitions running, the first being in November (13th) with 24 competitors from all around the UK including Scotland and Wales. We also own the Yorkshire’s strongest man event which will be held in May next year and will bring thousands to the area. Other competitions booked so far are Qualifiers for UKs and England's strongest man to be held early next year.

We are one of the only gyms in UK to have indoor strongman facilities and have people travel twice a week for our strongman sessions from Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Manchester, Derbyshire and further afield.
Some of the top competitors in the UK train here on a weekly basis including James Robson (2nd strongest under 105kg in UK), Mark (Pagan) Hodson one of the very top under 90kgs in UK and some up-and-coming starts that will be contending in World’s Strongest Man in the next few years (very big guys).

Have a look at the photograph below. It depicts a miners’ presentation at Caphouse Colliery, Overton around the mid-1940s. It was originally donated to the coxleynews.com archive by Clarry Driver. He is shown in the picture (back row, 3rd from left) as well as his father, Victor Driver (middle row, 3rd from right).

Fix before the freeze

Report street problems to the council.



You may already be aware of the website FixMyStreet.com, which helps you report common street problems – such as potholes and uneven pavements – to the relevant local council. This year, we thought we’d give people a gentle nudge before winter comes.

Many of the 1,000 issues which the site deals with every week are of the sort which are far better seen to before the big freeze. Potholes only worsen with the frost, and no-one wants a dodgy streetlight once the long dark nights are here.

How to join Fix Before the Freeze
•Check for problems Will your walk home from work tonight be in the dark? Look out for areas that could be better lit or paths that might cause people to stumble in the dark.
•Report it If you see something that is better fixed before the freeze, now’s the time to let your council know. It only take a minute at FixMyStreet.com.
•Spread the word We’ve created the image above as a website icon, flier, and poster. Follow the links at the foot of this post to download them, or use the code if you’d prefer to link back. Why not put one on your blog, hand them out at work, or stick one in your window? Please spread the word among friends and family too.
•Spread the word further We’d be grateful for mentions on your preferred social media hang-out (you can use the #FB4TF hashtag).
•Keep in touch You can ‘like’ us on Facebook here, or follow us on Twitter here.
Let’s get our local communities as safe as they can be, before the cold weather hits

Ian Sanders-District Councillor for Rural Ward

Find out about the new councillor in our area.

I am the recently elected District Councillor for Rural Ward of Wakefield Council. I am 62yrs old & married to Kath,who many of you have met. We have a grown up son who keeps an eye on both of us. We live and have worked in Havercroft for 28 years.

After leaving school at 15, I accepted an Electrical Apprenticeship with the National Coal Board and 4 years later become an underground electrician. I was encouraged to progress with further education and I gained qualifications which enable me to take up the post of Electrical Engineer for British Petroleum. The job meant travelling all over the world. I was 21yrs old, just married and the job enabled Kath to travel with me. It was a fabulous time as I loved the job and we saw the world. Further career moves took me to work for the Saudia Arabian Government and finally to Kuwait Oil.



In 1982 the travelling ended and I came home to stay. I went into retail, managing Off Licences Markets and for the past 12 years I have managed a large News agency. This operates a Home News Delivery service to six surrounding villages.

At 62 I have no intentions of retiring, the compromise with the family is I call myself semi-retired; they seem happy with that job title. I am not a workaholic, but I do enjoy work, travel, meeting and talking to people, which unknowingly at the time brought me into contact with local politics. This occurred after an incident in Havercroft that I felt extremely strongly about, as a result of which I was approached to become a Parish Councillor. I didn't need any persuasion to say yes.

It has been a steep learning curve which has stood me in good stead for my next challenge. I was asked to stand for the Conservative Party in the local government elections when Brian Denson decided not to seek re-election.

It is an honour and privilege to have your trust to represent you for the next 4 years and I pledge to work to the best of my ability to repay that confidence in me.

Rural Ward covers a large area, however, I hope to visit your ward every day and get to grips with the issues that concern you most. These include a). The bus service in Netherton and b). The wind turbine.

I have to thank my two colleagues Councillor June Drysdale & Councillor John Colley who are my mentors. I could not wish for better assistance as their knowledge, experience,and achievements within the ward are second to none,so one of my aims is to reach their standards.

I look forward to you all interrogating me further at any forthcoming events and I am always available.

My number is 077 628 351 49

Response to Middlestown pottery mystery

We've had a few interesting responses so far..

From P. Hill
"I myself have 2 boots which I bought from a shop (Cissie Pools) now the second hand shop in New Road, Middlestown round about the early 1970s."


Coxleynews received a phone call to say that there was an advert in one of the papers about 35-40 years ago and you could order various pieces of pottery with what ever name you wanted, the gentleman said it was a company in Staffordshire who placed the advert.

From C. Hewitt
"the pottery appears to be Devon Ware.
It was made for the tourist trade and was popular during the 1950s.
I am however surprised that Middlestown warranted its own - one more often sees seaside resorts.
Don't think that many people holidayed in Middlestown!"

Coxley Live Local History

Incorporating Oral History.

Calendars produced by the oral history group proved popular once again and supplies sold out. It is planned to produce another calendar for next year and the group is always on the lookout for historical photographs of the area.

The group is working on a series of local heritage trail leaflets. The first of these should be available later in spring. Details of how to obtain the leaflets will be available on the Coxley News website and in the next edition of Coxley News magazine.

The local history group continues to meet monthly (usually on the first Saturday of the month). Contact Christine Hewitt on 07931 353082 for more information.

PROGRESS ON PARISH PLAN

Sitlington Parish Council’s Parish Plan Implementation Committee has been meeting regularly since the launch of the Parish Plan in March 2010..

We have been working on the summary of recommendations made, and a timescale for achievement of as many items as possible over the lifespan of the Plan!

Many of the recommendations have depended on the Parish Council working with WMDC departments, such as Highways, Environmental Services and Planning, and other agencies such as the Neighbourhood Police Team. Whilst we make every effort at speed of achievement, sometimes it is very frustrating to depend on outside priorities, and recognising that in present times, funding is at a premium!

To begin on a negative note, our aim of erecting Sitlington Parish signs at roads on our boundaries was rejected by WMDC Highways, which was a disappointment as it would have gone a long way to establishing a Parish identity. We are considering other ways of signposting our Parish.

However, despite Highways declining to meet with us until at least February, lobbying by the Parish Council has resulted in provision of speed cameras at the Mining Museum, some attempts at safety measures on New Road, and the 20mph speed limit on Netherton Lane outside the school. We are seeking ways to monitor the effectiveness of these changes, and will continue to lobby for other measures such as pedestrian crossings at the junction of New Road and Netherton Lane, and any possible ways of making Blacker Lane safer for residents, walkers and motorists alike..

Our planning application for new allotments next to Netherton Cemetery is under consideration. This should go a long way to ensuring that anyone in the Parish who wants an allotment can be catered for. We are expecting a result any time now!

Our funding of the Police Safe Scheme, which provides extra policing in the Parish, has ensured that crime figures are down compared with other areas which have no such provision. Attendance by a police officer at our Council meetings ensures we receive a monthly report and can prioritise where we would like activity to take place: this report is also published on our website. We are meeting with the Neighbourhood Police Team to review the scheme, with possible expansion or revision.

Planning permission has finally been gained for the development of the old Coxley Mill as an educational resource. We look forward to seeing what this will look like!

One of the big recommendations is provision of a play area for Netherton, along with development of Netherton Village Hall. Various funding streams have been investigated, and announcements will be made soon about how these will be achieved.

Our current work is concerned with reviewing footpaths, bridleways and trails (including a possible cycle path by the canal) in conjunction with WMDC Environmental Services. Many will remember the wonderful Parish map which was produced some years ago – we hope to update this, along with guides to trails, and provision of waymarkers – which may even be illustrated by the new Parish logo!

Anyone wishing to remind themselves of what is in the Parish Plan can download it from our website (www.sitlingtonparishcouncil.gov.uk) or contact the Parish Clerk for a hard copy.

Winter gardens

The garden may appear to sleep in winter, but there is still much to enjoy, especially on those crystal clear mornings when the sun shines on frost or snow. Outside is a fascinating world of patterns and shapes, with the garden stripped bare to reveal its bones and structure.

Delicate, often fragrant winter blossoms, handsome evergreens and the bewitching colours of the stems and bark entice the gardener out to experience the crisp air and winter sun.

In a well-planned garden, winter is foreshortened by the appearance of snowdrops or cheery yellow aconites, by fragrant winter honeysuckle and daphne, as well as early flowering rhododendrons. Spring is just around the corner!

Winter gives both garden and gardener time to draw breath after the busy growing season. There are still important jobs to be done, but these need not be tackled with the urgency of spring and summer work, and they often deserve more thought. The siting of new trees and shrubs, and the pruning and training of existing ones, requires a degree of artistry and consideration. Other tasks, like winter digging and clearing the vegetable plot, ensure that, bit by bit, the garden is brought back under control.

This is a good time for clearing leaves and deadwood, cleaning tools and pots, for tidying sheds and repairing fences. And as the days lengthen in late winter, the new year’s early sowings can be made under glass.

Away from planting, think about adding something different to your garden to create extra interest and impact. A well-positioned and perhaps unusual garden feature compliments and breaks up planting and provides a real focal point.

A few hours spent looking around a local architectural antique centre is a fine way to spend a winter morning and it is well worth the effort. You could try Spa Antiques in Ossett Spa.

Go on be brave!

CALLING ALL GARDENERS & GARDEN LOVERS

Are you the sort of person who likes working in the garden at home? And likes to share ideas with others. Or who likes to visit other gardens through the Yellow Book scheme or National Trust? Who gets ideas from looking at other gardens? Who appreciates other gardens but often wonders what lies out of sight behind the house or behind those gates?

Have you ever realised what garden delights there are in our own villages? Would you enjoy a steady walk around your village to admire other people’s efforts, even be allowed inside some gardens to explore further? Or be prepared to open your own garden to visitors, maybe with a cup of tea and a chat?

So how about a village garden weekend, run by Coxley Live, with a programme explaining a guided walk, open gardens, plant sales, children’s quiz? A chance for people to meet, greet, chat and share.
If you think this is a good idea and would like to help come along to an exploratory meeting on Tuesday 12th October, 7:30pm or send us a message. Hope to hear from you.

14th February’s meeting is still to come as I write this. Our speaker is Donald Woolley and his talk is entitled “Every Picture Tells a Story”. Donald has spoken to us before about the Mission Aviation Fellowship – if you remember, he was the one that was snowed off the first time. If this talk is half as good as his first one it will be excellent.

March 13th should see us with laughter guaranteed courtesy of Wakefield Movie Makers and their Road Show. We are looking forward very much to this – why not put the date in your diary and join in the fun?

10th April’s speaker is Mr Michael Duncombe and his talk is entitled “Curtain Up”. Don’t have more detail about this but it sounds interesting doesn’t it?

Just a brief mention of May – Mrs Cynthia Thewlis “From Sheep to Shawl”. More details next time – watch this space!

Just a reminder – February’s meeting is at 2.00 pm; after that we are back to evenings at 7.15 pm, all in the Trinity Methodist Schoolroom and still only £1 at the door which includes tea/coffee and biscuits.

WI “Curtain Up”

Trinity Methodist Schoolroom.

14th February’s meeting is still to come as I write this. Our speaker is Donald Woolley and his talk is entitled “Every Picture Tells a Story”. Donald has spoken to us before about the Mission Aviation Fellowship – if you remember, he was the one that was snowed off the first time. If this talk is half as good as his first one it will be excellent.

March 13th should see us with laughter guaranteed courtesy of Wakefield Movie Makers and their Road Show. We are looking forward very much to this – why not put the date in your diary and join in the fun?

10th April’s speaker is Mr Michael Duncombe and his talk is entitled “Curtain Up”. Don’t have more detail about this but it sounds interesting doesn’t it?

Just a brief mention of May – Mrs Cynthia Thewlis “From Sheep to Shawl”. More details next time – watch this space!

Just a reminder – February’s meeting is at 2.00 pm; after that we are back to evenings at 7.15 pm, all in the Trinity Methodist Schoolroom and still only £1 at the door which includes tea/coffee and biscuits.

Mobile Library

Middlestown/Overton.

Have you walked past Middlestown School recently and glanced down the school playground? If so, you will notice a gap where the library building used to be. As the building was deemed unsafe due to flood damage, it has has been demolished by W.M.C.

As a replacement service, a mobile library stops twice every 4 weeks. Firstly, at Ramsey Road, Middlestown- between 2.00 to 2.45pm and secondly, at Nell Gap Lane Overton-between 2.45 and 3.15pm. These visits are on a Wednesday and the next ones are 7th March/4th April.

NCM Craft Date

National Coal Mining Museum.

Calling in for a lunchtime snack one Thursday in January, I noticed a small group of people chatting and doing crafty things. Curiosity got the better of me and I discovered that this is going to be a regular event on one Thursday a month, between 12 noon and 2.00pm. Not interested in knitting and crocheting I managed a creditable hand made card and I am going back to try something else - it was fun. Future dates are 2nd Feb, 1st March, 19th April and 3rd May.

Middlestown/Overton Village Gala 2012

Overton/Middlestown.

Change of date: We have opted for an earlier date this year. This should allow the school to take a more active role and (fingers crossed) the weather may be a little kinder this time around! The procession starts at 11am from the school and the gala opens at 12 noon

Olympic theme: As 2012 sees the Olympic Games coming to London we thought we’d bring some Olympic flavour up north! We hope to see lots of ideas for floats, fancy dress, games and competitions.

Procession floats: There has been much interest in having floats back in the procession, so this year we invite you to participate and create your own floats. The route will be the same as last year, so vehicles must be suitable to drive through the estate and have secure sides at the rear if people are being carried on it. All floats must be registered.

Calling all cake bakers! The cake stall was a huge hit last year with hungry visitors, so we need reinforcements this time. Bakers please contact Audrey Murray at St Luke’s Church, or bring cakes on the day before 11am to the cricket field.

Prize donations: Last year we had an amazing response to the appeal for donations of toys, bubble bath, DVDs and pamper treats for the raffle and tombola. Donation boxes are in the village pubs or contact Kath for collection. Your support is very much appreciated yet again.

Local photographs: Many enjoyed sharing memories of yesteryear. Do you have any photos of local events, scenery or people that you would like to share?

All hands to the deck! May 19th is fast approaching, if you can help man stalls, put up tents, marshal cars or generally be useful please let Kath know asap. Over £1000 was raised last year for groups in the village. We had a fantastic day so come and support us. This year is set to be bigger and better with lots more attractions and great events.

Netherton Garden Walk

Netherton Village.

This year’s Garden Walk in Netherton will be on the afternoon of Sunday 10 June. The event will follow a similar pattern to last year’s inaugural event but with some changes to the gardens which will be open to the public. It offers an opportunity to stroll round the village, meet friends, have a chat, admire the efforts of others and pick up some ideas for your own garden.

If you would be willing to open your garden, large or small, please have a word with the organisers (see below). Many were surprised last year to find that what they thought was a modest garden did in fact contain many features which were of interest to others. We are looking for 8 new gardens this time. Please contact the organisers by 15 March. (There have been no volunteers to organise a similar event this year in Middlestown/Overton).

So note the date now. Further details will be in the summer issue of Coxley News when programmes will be available in local shops.
