Leader of Kirklees Council Shabir Pandor is re-elected | Bradford Telegraph and Argus

Kirklees Council boss re-elected as Labour leader

His deputy will be Clr Cathy Scott, who represents Dewsbury East. She replaces veteran councillor Peter McBride. Clr Pandor said Clr Scott would be “a great asset to the Labour Group and council in delivering our manifesto priorities.” He also offered his thanks to Clr McBride “for supporting me in my leadership role”. Clr Pandor, whose name has been linked to the forthcoming by-election in Batley and Spen as a potential Labour parliamentary candidate, also faces reshuffling his decision-making Cabinet. That is expected to happen in the next fortnight and follows the defeat in last week’s local elections of Graham Turner, who lost his seat to the Conservatives.

Backing for proposal to turn Red House, which inspired Charlotte Bronte s Shirley, into holiday destination

COUNCIL chiefs say investing in a listed historical building with connections to the Brontës will ensure it has a long-term future whilst remaining in public ownership. There was cross-party support for a plan to turn Gomersal’s Red House, formerly a museum, into a short-term holiday destination and intimate wedding venue. In proposing the £600,000 project to Kirklees Council’s Cabinet yesterday, senior councillor Graham Turner described it as “something of a departure on how we would  normally deal with assets that we can no longer afford to keep, and which we have no strategic need for.” The Grade II listed 19th century manor house will be comprehensively  refurbished and sympathetically remodelled to become a five-star high-end luxury holiday home for commercial holiday letting, accommodating 10 people within five bedrooms to be let as a single holiday cottage unit.

Important piece of history saved as application to demolish pub with Luddite links is refused

THE owner of an 18th century pub with connections to the Luddites has been refused permission to pull it down to make way for housing. The Shears Inn at Hightown in Liversedge, a meeting place during the Luddite rebellion in 1812, was described as a “spectacularly important” piece of local history. Owner Andrew Mitchell said the pub on the A649 Halifax Road, was no longer viable. He applied to Kirklees Council to bulldoze the building and to replace it with four houses. The proposed scheme proved hugely controversial, and the Council received 433 objections to the application. The application was refused on Tuesday, but Mr Mitchell said there seemed to be little local interest in any locals taking on the pub.
