The 2023 Cragg Vale calendar is now being compiled, so we're again on the lookout for photos of our lovely area.

If you have a collection that's too large to send, Martyn will be happy to collect any memory sticks / other storage devices, and return them promptly, just drop him a line.
Any pictures featured on the main pages will receive a free copy of the calendar.
If all goes to plan, the calendar should be available around october 2022, so keep your eyes on our messaging, they do make lovely christmas presents!

After a long campaign by a local resident, Yorkshire Water will be doing some remedial work on Rudd Lane, mainly on the areas adjacent YW’s land. YW said:
“YW will be undertaking works to divert land water away from Rudd Lane. This will include, cleaning out a drainage ditch at the westerly end at the top of Rudd Ln adjacent to Withens Ln; cleaning away soil from the end of the cross drains where they discharge onto the land to the south side of Rudd Ln and renewing a land drain to catch the land water where it runs through a section of wall on the northern side of Rudd Ln. The final piece of work will be to rectify a poorly repaired culvert and reinstate the area around this.
In addition to the drainage work, the section of lane which is YW responsibility to maintain will have the surface repaired where damage has occurred. This area extends from the car park 379 yards east down Rudd Ln.
Once we can see how effective the work has been at diverting land water away from the Lane we can determine if any further works are required.”
Discussions are ongoing about road repairs further down the lane. A map showing the details of where the repairs will be is available to see on the CVCA website at www.craggvalecommunity.co.uk

The Community Association is supporting the creation of a new security network open and free to all Cragg Vale residents who opt to join. We are calling it CraggAlert, and its purpose is to enable everyone living in Cragg Vale to share information about security issues- (break-ins, attempted break-ins, car thefts, thefts from cars, vandalism, suspicious activity by individuals or people in vehicles, scams of all descriptions whether on the doorstep, through the post or online- the list is not exhaustive.)
Two immediate reassurances:-
First, Cragg Vale is not the crime capital of the North. But things do go wrong and one person’s experience shared can help prevent repetition in your locality.
Second, we are not taking over the role of any existing organisation. Most importantly you should continue to report all crime, actual or anticipated, to the police on 999 for crimes or emergencies in progress, and 101 for less urgent concerns.
Links will also be established with similar neighbouring groups e.g. in Mytholmroyd.
If you want to join, in the first instance please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with your name and a mobile telephone number where you may be contacted. The scheme will function via a WhatsApp closed group, administered by one of our members, so that information will not be in the public arena accessible to anyone who might put it to improper use.
And to finish-please bear with us for the first few weeks. We haven’t done this before so there may be a few glitches!
