CAMPAIGNERS are organising a “community together” response to an application for a major development in Otley which is expected imminently. The East of Otley Action Group wants to ensure that residents in the town work together towards a common goal when the plans for a scheme including hundreds of homes are submitted. The group was created to be a community forum, and along with Otley campaigner Alistair Watson and the ODD campaign, they are working to ensure that the opinions of local people are heard. “We want to hear from as many people as possible to ensure that we get a representative view of what the town really wants.” said a spokesperson from the East of Otley Action Group.
CAMPAIGNERS fighting for green space and wildlife in the East of Otley development have smashed their initial fundraising target. An appeal which was set up last month to raise £3000 for legal advice has already reached £3845. Organisers say they could well need more in the future to present the strongest case for local wildlife and the community and to influence the imminent planning application. The East of Otley Action Group was created in response to the plan to build 550 new homes and a relief road on greenspace on the outskirts of the town. The group includes Otley 2030, Otley Community Land Trust, Wildlife Friendly Otley, Otley Nature Network, Wharfedale Naturalists and Cambridge Estate Residents, as well as other community, faith, and business groups.
