Farsley Celtic strengthen management team to help stop slide

Farsley Celtic have added director of football Pav Singh to the current first team coaching set up as The Celts look to arrest an alarming slide which has seen them slump to 19th in the league – just five points above the relegation zone.

The short-term change will see Singh joining the current first team coaching set up in what the club describe as a ‘hands on role both in training and in the match-day dugout’.

The move comes as the Celts, who have spent much of the season in mid-table, recorded only one win from their last nine league games, and in the 15 games since their win against Gloucester on 23 December they’ve managed only three victories, scoring just 12 times.

In a lengthy statement on social media this evening, Farsley Celtic chairman Paul Barthorpe said: “We believe that with the strength and quality of squad we have we shouldn’t be anywhere near where we are in the league, and our form earlier in the season has shown this.

“I have therefore taken the decision to act early, while we still have a good number of games remaining (seven). We are still a fair distance from the relegation zone (five points) and while are still masters of our own destiny, to make some changes in the short-term managerial set up to ensure we pull further away from the relegation zone.”

On Singh’s appointment, Barthorpe said: “His perspective and experience will complement our existing coaching team, offering us another valuable lens.

“His energy, enthusiasm and passion for this club has never been in doubt, and in recent times his work with the ETS helping turn them into league contenders in the first season of existence demonstrates the type of individual Pav is and I believe that’s exactly what we need at the moment. His role in putting together the playing squad this season alongside the current management team, also gives him the knowledge and familiarity meaning he can walk straight into the culture and start work from day one.”

Barthorpe added: “When we appointed Clayton and his team we were confident that they were the right team for the job, and that opinion hasn’t changed! The only thing they don’t have is experience, so to put into that group an experienced footballing resource like Pav… is a no brainer.”

Barthorpe also confirmed today that Danny Ellis, 38, has also been brought out of retirement as a player as the club seeks to arrest its slide down the league table. Ellis is a member of head coach Clayton Donaldson’s coaching staff and a former Farsley Celtic defender.

“At the beginning of the season we also registered Danny Ellis as a player, as his on-field passion, aggression and leadership was something that made him the player he was!” the statement added.

“We knew one day we might need that bit of extra steel and passion. He will now be made available for selection, his steady experienced head with the Farsley passion and fight is something that we will need in these last few games, and to be honest if we are in the last five minutes of a game and need to shore things up at the back I can’t think of anyone else I’d rather bring on.

“As a fan of the club as well as the chairman, I will take whatever steps I need to take and be a pro-active as I can to be to make sure we get what we all want, and that’s a successful end to the season!”

The club was placed under a transfer embargo by the National League on 23 February, which has yet to be lifted.

Farsley slipped to a 3-0 defeat at Boston United yesterday, their third loss in a week.

Kirkstall Brewery takes on The Tetley

Kirkstall Brewery has announced it will take on the lease of The Tetley in Leeds city centre, which once formed part of the vast Tetley’s Brewery site. 

The independent brewery has now got plans to make it a hub for great beer in the city, and renew the site as a ‘landmark of Yorkshire beer culture’.

The Tetley production line, best known for its cask ale, closed after 189 years in 2011, with the headquarters serving as an art gallery for the past ten years.

It’s hoped the building will reopen in May. The Tetley gallery closed in December 2023 after its lease ended. 

Kirkstall Brewery founder Steve Holt said: “It’s a tremendous privilege to bring Leeds’s most iconic brewery building into the Kirkstall fold. 

“As a brewery that pays a great deal of respect to the history of brewing in the city, we believe we are the ideal custodians for the next chapter of this legendary building.”

Michael Cronin, head of portfolio at Vastint UK, the owners of The Tetley building, said: “Last year we outlined our ambitions to safeguard this iconic building for the next 100 years and have now submitted our plans to the council. Since we became custodians of the building, it was always our intention to keep it open until the restoration work got under way to bring this fantastic building up to 21st century standards.

“So, we’re thrilled to be welcoming Kirkstall Brewery to Aire Park and to be bringing one of the current generations of Leeds and Yorkshire breweries to a site which has played such a pivotal role in the history of beer making in the region.

“The Tetley will form the centre piece of Aire Park, alongside the eight-acre public park and this collaboration will hopefully give the people of Leeds a small taster of what’s to come in the very near future.”

Holt added: “It really is the crown jewel of brewing history in Leeds, and we are deeply grateful for the opportunity to make it a landmark of Yorkshire beer culture once again.”

Pudsey: Equestrian centre barn set to become family home

Plans to change the use of a former equestrian centre in Pudsey into a family home have been approved by council officers – subject to a raft of planning conditions.

Applicants Mr and Mrs Slinger submitted a planning application to convert an existing agricultural barn at Acres Hall Farm, off Acres Hall Avenue, into a four-bedroom detached home. Proposals included an access track and parking.

Mr and Mrs Slinger argued that the plans should be approved under permitted development rights, which allow householders to improve and extend properties without the need to apply for full planning permission.

18 objections were received to the proposal, including one from Cllr Dawn and Cllr Simon Seary, who said the development would be ‘inappropriate’ in the greenbelt.

Council planning officers approved the permitted development application, subject to a raft of 12 conditions including the applicant submitting acceptable drainage scheme and foul water drainage information.

The fresh proposals come after council planners refused an application last July for a stone-built six-bedroom home at the farm. Planners said the development was not in accordance with the council’s development plan.

The latest plans can be viewed in full here.

Teen lads triumph at Bramley Villagers boxing show

Two teenage boys were amongst boxers from Bramley Villagers Club who won their fights on the club’s first home show of the year.

Oscar Fletcher won an Independent Boxing Championship 60 kg title belt and Reuban Briggs showed his potential in a stunning debut performance. 

“Winning the belt means so much,” said Oscar, who at 17 is at college studying mechanics. “It’s everything I’ve been working towards for the past few years. I beat a strong opponent in Firefight Gym’s Finley Whelan. Now I have won it, it just gives me more motivation to keep fighting winning more belts as I work towards my eventual goal of becoming a professional boxer, hopefully even a champion.”

Injury forced Oscar to give up a football career with Bradford City Academy and on recovery he switched to boxing.

“I trained at a couple of other gyms and then settled on Villagers, and I now train with Titch and Danny Mitchell three times a week,” he said. “They’ve been brilliant with me these past two years. Lots of encouragement and rewarding hard work in an amazing team atmosphere. Boxing means that lads like Finley and me are strong and tough and proud that we can handle ourselves.”

Fifteen-year-old Reuban began boxing at Villagers aged six and was initially coached by Billy Wilkinson. “I’ve always been passionate about boxing, but it’s often taken a back seat to playing rugby for Stanningley. I train intensively in both sports.

“We’re five brothers from a sporty family. Connor boxed at Villagers and Lochie is now playing rugby league in Australia. Dad was a professional rugby player. I love it at Villagers the learning and the banter and we’ve all got massive respect for Titch and Danny.”

Reuban weighed in at 67 kg to beat Firefight’s Jacob Smith in a fast-moving bout in which both boys boxed with courage. “Jacob’s got guts, I admire him for that but I was determined to win,” stated Reuban. “Like Oscar I want to be a professional boxer. I just want to keep showing what I’m made of. I’ll fight anyone and beat them so keen to see who’s courageous enough to take me on next.”

Both boys are looking for sponsorship to help them progress in their boxing. Individuals or companies interested in offering support can use Facebook to contact Oscar Fletcher or Reuban via his mother Don M Briggs.

Farsley Celtic’s poor run continues at Boston United

Kelsey Mooney’s second hat-trick of the week gave Boston United a deserved 3-0 win against a Farsley Celtic side suffering their third defeat in seven days.

Mooney, who rattled four in his team’s 7-3 win at hapless Gloucester last week, was again in fine form as the home side moved back into the playoff places.

The Celts, on the other hand, have recorded only one win from their last nine league games, and in the 15 games since their win against Gloucester on 23 December they’ve managed three victories, scoring just 12 times. After spending much of he season in mid-table, they currently sit five points above the National League North drop zone in 19th position, with seven games remaining.

Yesterday was an improved performance on Tuesday night’s abject surrender against Warrington.

For the first half hour The Celts looked solid, well organised and had matched their in-form opponents in a game of few chances.

The match changed on a mistake on the half-hour mark when Mooney turned the normally reliable Rudy Misambo to hand United a 30th-minute lead, his low strike going in off Leban’s right-hand post.

The home side were indebted to goalkeeper Cameron Gregory on the stroke of half-time, with the Boston stopper denying Darren Stephenson when through on goal following Jack Evans’ astute pass. The save would prove costly for the visitors.

Boston then had a couple of opportunities to extend their lead as the game opened up before the half time whistle blew.

Early in the second half Mooney grabbed his second when he headed home Martin Woods’ free-kick six minutes after half-time and then exchanged passes with Michael Gyasi six minutes from time to seal his hat-trick. Tellingly, Mooney’s tally in the last two games eclipses the number of goals scored between them by experienced Farsley forwards Michael Coulson and Clayton Donaldson all season.

The Celts had their share of possession and fired several efforts over the bar. They’ll be buoyed by the first starts in several months of Darren Stephenson – who showed some decent touches – and defender Harry Sheridan, but their small squad is stretched by injuries as the season enters a critical phase of the season.

Keeper Zan Luk Leban – arguably Farsley’s player of the season so far – will be on international duty for next Saturday’s game at Hereford and The Celts’ management team will be hoping for a dramatic return to form in what are arguably seven ‘cup finals’ before the end of the season.

Pudsey: Future of former visitor centre and glasshouse yet to be decided

Closed: The former West Leeds Country Park Visitor Centre.

The future of the former West Leeds Country Park Visitors Centre and glasshouse in Pudsey Park is still to be decided by Leeds City Council – four years after the facilities closed their doors.

Both facilities shut in February 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and never re-opened after a subsequent round of Leeds City Council budget cuts permanently closing the facilities in 2021 in a bid to save the cash-strapped local authority £90,000 a year.

At least two community projects have expressed interest in taking on the buildings, including Steven Newbatt, who runs The Farsley Cake Co, and the Pudsey Community Project.

But a Leeds City Council spokesperson told WLD this week: “Unfortunately, none of the initial expressions of interest fully responded to the council’s requirements, so were not taken forward. We are currently reviewing the buildings and aim to have a plan for their future use in the coming months.”

Community organisations have been expressing an interest in taking on the glasshouse.

WLD understands the council also has concerns about their ability to legally lease out the former visitor centre due to low EPC energy ratings. As a result the council’s parks department has identified possible opportunities for these assets to be re-utilised to complement the use of the park by the public and these are currently being explored.

Council bosses invited expressions of interest for the former visitor centre in Autumn 2022, comprising animal enclosures, aviaries and aquariums, as well as associated welfare rooms, offices, a classroom and toilets. The glasshouse next door is also available.

Both projects have said they will continue to lobby the council.

Pudsey Community Project (PCP), which offers a range of services to support people in need, has launched an online petition to restart negotiations with the council after the process stalled due to the council’s city-wide review of all its assets.

PCP chief executive Richard Dimery said his organisation’s bid for the buildings had been developed further since their initial expression of interest.

“The buildings have been empty for four years now and are much-valued by the people of Pudsey,” Mr Dimery said. “Finding the right use for them is very important. We are committed to serving the community in any way we can and hope to work with others to find the most appropriate use. We will continue to do that.”

Pudsey Community Project’s proposals for the visitor centre include publicly accessible toilets; a small low-cost volunteer-run kiosk providing simple drinks and snacks for the park users; exhibition and activity space for park-based events; and to operate a six day a week youth and children’s group venue to help increase the offering for young people locally and reduce youth antisocial behaviour.

The glasshouse would be run in partnership with local schools as a horticultural classroom space for helping children engage with learning how to help things grow, and especially as a quiet space for working with children with special educational needs. Food grown there would be used locally in charity food provision.

Mr Newbatt wants to transform the visitors centre into an attraction attracting people from across the city, including a ‘travel back in time and explore’ dinosaur adventure, gift shop and community fruit and vegetable patch. It would also feature fully equipped meeting facilities, sensory area, visiting exhibits around local school curriculum and a fully restocked growhouse.

The growhouse will be minimally restocked to tie in with the overall attraction, while incorporating a snack kiosk and seating will be available for both attraction visitors and non patrons.

“I’m still hoping it will be a major milestone in bringing visitors and commercial expenditure back to Pudsey,” Mr Newbatt said. “We’ll keep fighting until the end and will be launching a petition to try get the council to listen to us on our Facebook group – Make The Visitors Centre Great Again – in the next week or so.”

Councillor Dawn Seary (Cons, Pudsey) said: “The closure of the visitors centre and glasshouse over three years ago, to save costs was in my view, a political manoeuvre rather than a genuine cost-saving measure.

“The cost of the buildings were merely absorbed elsewhere: the lights are still on, the plants are still watered and the animals and staff were retained and redeployed elsewhere in Leeds.

“While expressions of interest have been submitted, the Council has a lack of urgency in anything happening to the site, and keeps rolling out new excuses in the face of any proposals. I am thankful to the individuals who have submitted bids to reopen it and care about our park just as much as I do. I’ll keep working hard to hold this council to account so we can get something done, and keep making our community even better.”

Farnley Balancing Reservoir is ‘littered with shopping trolleys, bikes and so much litter’ and is urgent need of a cleanup, local residents have said.

WLD has been contacted by concerned residents in the past fortnight, amid concerns for the safety of wildlife, such as swans, who use the reservoir.

Nicky Abbott said: “I would like some help getting someone to take notice of the disgusting state of Farnley Reservoir.

“Today there was a dead swan in the reservoir and someone has erected a tent in the middle of the reservoir. It is littered with shopping trolleys, bikes and so much litter.”

And Emma Louise Rusholme also expressed concerns over wildlife on ‘X’ – formerly known as Twitter:

Responding to concerns, a Yorkshire Water spokesperson told WLD: “We are in the process of arranging a litter pick to help support the community tidy up the area and are looking at longer-term plans for the reservoir.”

Farnley Balancing Reservoir holds water back from the lower Wortley Valley and protects homes and business from flooding.

Locals asked to help design community garden at Calverley Old Hall

With major work at Calverley’s historic Old Hall due to finish later this year, the Landmark Trust, which owns the site, has asked local people for help to design the community garden.

The Trust, which buys historic buildings for holiday rentals, secured £1.6million from the National Lottery to restore the hall into accommodation for ten people, along with a community room and garden.

Now, as much of the major internal work at the Hall is well on the way to being finished, the Trust has asked local people to help design the garden which will ultimately be theirs to use. The community will also be asked to help maintain it.

The garden area, at the side of the site, has unmovable boundary walls and slopes down towards the building, so these features need to be taken into account, says the Trust. The final design will include elements of ideas submitted.

To download full details and design template, click here. The deadline for submissions is 29 March.

Calverley Old Hall

Calverley Old Hall, Woodhall Road, is a Grade 1* listed building, which dates back to the 12th century. It was the home of the Calverley family for more than 500 years, fell into disrepair last century and was in danger of crumbling when the Landmark Trust bought it. The two-year renovation programme has uncovered rare Tudor wall paintings, along with historic artifacts.

Leeds: Council faces criticism over potholes

Leeds pothole

The council will be urged to do more to patch up the city’s roads after figures showed a rise in accidents and compensation payouts linked to potholes.

Leeds City Council will face claims it is not doing enough to tackle the issue at a meeting next week.

But the council has pointed out that reduced funding from central government has hit the budget for repairing damaged roads and pavements.

A white paper motion from the Conservative group said the number of potholes reported in Leeds had risen by almost 60 per cent in the last five years, with 13,722 reports last year alone.

The motion, for discussion at full council on Wednesday (March 20), said: “There were more than 300 accidents relating to potholes in 2023, compared to an average of 190 between 2019 and 2022, and compensation paid out to those affected by potholes has also nearly doubled in recent years.

“Estimates suggest there is a mean average of 19.5 years backlog in highways maintenance and it would take £288m to bring all roads up to an acceptable standard.”

The motion, tabled by Conservative group leader Coun Alan Lamb, said almost £18m for resurfacing works was provided to the council in 2023 from the government’s City Regions Sustainable Transport Settlement.

It said: “But the council should be investing more of its own money in improving the condition of the city’s roads.”

The motion calls on the council to address disparities between the time it takes to fix potholes in different parts of the city.

It said: “Potholes create safety hazards and misery for road users, cause damage to vehicles, and cost the council thousands of pounds in compensation payouts to those affected.”

Helen Hayden, the council’s executive member for sutainable development and infrastructure, said spending on highways maintenance had been hit by  rising inflation and reduced government funding.

Coun Hayden said: “In Leeds we are working in the context of £2.7bn worth of government cuts to our budget and that of course has an impact on what we as a council can do.

“However, keeping the road network in the best condition we can in the face of government budget cuts is critical, which is why this administration continues to invest extra local funding into our network.

“We have a robust asset management system in place in Leeds to monitor and consider works on the highway, with a substantial programme of preventative maintenance works each year which aims to prolong the life of roads and help prevent potholes forming.”

Leeds: Buses to be brought back under public control – updated

Bus services in West Yorkshire will be brought under public control, as it becomes the third major region to reverse four decades of deregulation.

The Mayor of West Yorkshire Tracy Brabin has taken the decision in what promises to be the biggest shake up to public transport in the region for decades. 

The landmark move – through a process known as franchising – means routes, frequencies, fares and overall standards for buses in the region will be set by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority instead of private operators, who will instead be contracted to run services on the Combined Authority’s behalf. 

Buses in West Yorkshire were ranked as the worst in England in a passenger survey published this week by the watchdog Transport Focus. Only 66% of passengers were satisfied with their last journey on Arriva buses in West Yorkshire, the lowest rating of more than 50 bus companies nationwide. The operator cited a shortage of drivers for failing services and said it now had a large number of trainees about to complete their courses.

It’s hoped franchised model will allow the Mayor and Combined Authority to better deliver on ambitions for a greener, joined-up and easier to use transport network. 

Some 69 organisations and 1,176 members of the public took part in a  consultation on the options between October and January. Almost three quarters of people fully supported franchising. The authority also received a petition of more than 12,000 signatures.

Mayor of West Yorkshire Tracy Brabin said the current deregulated system has seen a decline in patronage over many years and the increasing use of public funding used to support services.

“I’m delighted to announce that we are taking back control of our buses in West Yorkshire, empowering the public to hold me to account for better services,” Mayor Brabin added.

“For too long, buses have been run in the interests of private companies, not passengers. Franchising will help us build a better-connected bus network that works for all, not just company shareholders.    

“But we know that change will not happen overnight – the hard work we’ve been doing to improve the bus network continues while we work at pace to bring this new way of running the buses to our 2.4 million residents.” 

Combined Authority meeting

Combined Authority members decided to back the proposal at a meeting today (Thursday, March 14).

New bus service contracts as part of the scheme should be in place in 2027.

Ms Brabin told the meeting: “What a historic moment for West Yorkshire. We are bringing buses back into public control and we are putting passengers first. This is the biggest change in the way buses are run for the region over the last 40 years and will impact on generations to come.”

Opening the meeting, Ms Brabin said the future of bus services was vital to the region. She said: “But we know the current system is not good enough. We hear it from the public all the time.”

A report to the meeting said more than 1.7m bus journeys were taken each week in West Yorkshire. It said: “But evidence shows passengers face many challenges, resulting in poor satisfaction and fewer people choosing to travel by bus, with bus patronage in long-term decline.”

At the same time, the bus network had got smaller and the Combined Authority was having to spend more on the running of bus services, up from £17.1m in 2018/19 to £21.4 m in 2021/22.

The report said the authority was paying for socially necessary bus services which would otherwise not be provided by bus companies. These made up around 15 per cent of all bus journeys.

Leeds City Council leader James Lewis said told the meeting: “The think the time is right to move on. The bus companies have had their chance.”

To ensure a smooth transition, franchising will be introduced in phases, with the first franchised buses up and running in parts of Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield from March 2027. In the meantime, the Combined Authority says it will continue with its £2 Mayor’s Fares, increased frequencies on key routes, investment in bus stations and shelters and new bus services. 

Reaction

A spokesperson for Arriva Yorkshire was today positive about the decision. She said: “We welcome confirmation of Mayor Tracy Brabin’s intention to move towards a franchising model for local bus services in West Yorkshire.

“We know from our experience in London and across Mainland Europe that franchised networks can deliver the successful and high performing services that local communities deserve. We look forward to working closely with the Mayor and her team to help achieve their ambitions for improved bus services for passengers in West Yorkshire.”

Director of civic watchdog Leeds Civic Trust, Martin Hamilton, also welcomed the decision. He said: “The bus services in West Yorkshire are currently inadequate to support the transport needs of the population.

“Bringing the service under public control will mean that decisions on routes, frequencies and the overall quality of the bus service will be determined by need and not by profit.

“It will take several years before a franchising system is fully up and running. In the meantime, it is vital that the combined authority continues to work with bus operators to improve the service and to speak to bus users about the sort of service they want when franchising is introduced.”
