A SCHOOL crossing patrol could be reinstated at Pool-in-Wharfedale - but only if the village picks up the tab. Pool has been without a school crossing for years but some residents have been pushing for the service - a warden used to help children cross on Main Street - to be re-introduced. Councillor Barry Anderson (Con, Adel & Wharfedale) has been given an update on how likely that is to happen. He has been told by a Leeds City Council (LCC) officer that an audit of traffic in the area, to see if a patrol would be justified, could be carried out if requested.
THE OTLEY and Yeadon ward currently has one of the lowest rates of COVID-19 in the whole of Leeds. Leeds City Council has issued new figures which give a weekly breakdown of the recorded cases per 100,000 people across the city between October 1 and December 9. The ward ‘heat map’ shows that Otley and Yeadon had an incidence rate of just over 81 in 100,000 during the week of December 3 to December 9. That makes it fourth lowest overall out of the city’s 33 wards. Adel & Wharfedale, which includes Bramhope, Pool-in-Wharfedale and Arthington, has fared even better and has an incidence rate of 76.9 for the same week - the second lowest in Leeds, only bettered by Wetherby whose rate is just 49.2.
BRAMHOPE Primary School could be permanently expanded to take in more pupils under new plans. If approved the proposal would see the school’s reception intake increase by 20 places each year from September, 2022. The Collaborative Learning Trust - a Leeds-based multi academy trust that also includes Prince Henry’s Grammar School - has been working with Leeds City Council on the scheme. A six week consultation has just begun and people can express their views at www.leeds.gov.uk/schoolplaceconsultations, where there are also details about the dates and times of community information sessions. CEO of the Collaborative Learning Trust - and Prince Henry’s Grammar School Headteacher - Janet Sheriff - said: “Leeds City Council approached the Trust to see if trustees would support the expansion at Bramhope Primary School.
