Burley Parish Council and the LDF

Having listened to residents concerns on the content and findings in Bradford MDC's Local Development Framework programme at a recent meeting, and taken into consideration the numerous comments from other sources, the Parish Council has responded in the form of a communication which can be viewed online.

It would seem to cover every topic of concern and is particularly well constructed - congratulations to our Parish Council on their prompt response on our behalf.

New exhibition in the Library
BURLEY'S HALL OF FAME

A new exhibition in the Burley Library shows the history and development of Burley's Queen's Hall. At the beginning of February it will be the venue of choice as the Burley Theatre Group entertain us with the annual pantomime. The hall is much more than a place of entertainment, and the exhibition shows in how many ways the hall has been and is being used. The exhibition is on display every day the library is open.
