The National Trust, and partners including Yorkshire Water are working together in their 5-year Landscapes for Water project, to create 350 hectares of woodland in the South Pennines, install thousands of natural flood management interventions and restore peatland.
It is anticipated that the work will reduce flood risk for hundreds of homes, while improving habitats and water quality and capturing carbon.
The agencies are holding public meetings and Knowledge Sharing Events to give people the chance to learn more about plans.
The Knowledge Sharing Event for Cragg Vale is scheduled for Thursday 4th December 2025 from 19:00 – 21:00 at St John's Church, Cragg Vale.
Hosted by the National Trust it will include:
- A talk from the National Trust’s archaeology expert Mark Newman, about the history and findings in the local area.
- An overview of the Landscapes for Water Project and the work happening/planned close by.
- An open discussion and Q&A on the history of the local area.
It will be free to attend, so please come along and find out more about this exciting project.
More information is available on National Trust website here

I'm Dan Cope, your Upper Valley Community Warden. My role as a Community Warden is to provide a proactive, visible presence around Calderdale, acting as the eyes and ears alongside working with local councils to reduce Crime and Anti-Social Behaviour. I deal with issues such as Graffiti, Litter, Fly Tipping, Abandoned Cars, Dog Fouling and much more. I also try to get involved with community activities, visit schools and attend resident's meetings. I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone for making me feel very welcome, it has, so far, been a pleasure. If there is anything you would like to report please visit https://new.calderdale.gov.uk alternatively please contact myself through the Cragg Vale Hubbub or the Community Association. Many Thanks, Dan |

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!
