They will work on behalf of local residents and businesses in Mytholmroyd and Cragg Vale who may be at risk, and will look at ways to minimise the effects of any future flooding. The most effective way of finding appropriate solutions to local flooding problems is for a community based group to work closely with the various agencies. Mytholmroyd Flood Action is already recognised as representing the voice of the local community by Calderdale Council, Emergency Planning agencies and the Environment Agency. The group would like to hear from anyone living in Mytholmroyd who would like to become an active member and support future action to reduce the effects of flooding within the community. If you have been affected by flooding in Mytholmroyd or Cragg Vale and would like to be a part of this new local initiative, please contact Jae Campbell, Upper Valley Neighbourhood Co-ordinator for further information.

From Brian Mottershead Pembroke, Ontario, Canada Old Pictures Have enjoyed your collection of older pictures on the website. My brother and I were perusing them last week and were surprised that we knew several people. We both went to Calder High School 1951 to 1956. I have lived in Canada since '56 and my brother now lives in California. So, thought you might be interested in this picture taken at Calder High about 1952 or 53. The cast of a school play, which as I recall wasn't very good, even though I was in it! I know names of about half the people and would be interested in hearing from anyone who recognizes him or herself.  Click on photo above to see a larger version.

Following on from the highly successful and enjoyable Carol Sing on the Northern Rail trains this last December, the Burnley Road Academy decided to extend their support for the Mytholmroyd community by helping the volunteers of the Station Partnership. The Academy is making a valuable contribution towards enhancing the entrance to the village with floral displays at the station. Mrs Pam Savile, Head of Burnley Road Academy says "It's always a pleasure working with the Station Partnership as they are so supportive. We are involved in the Station Carols and the Art Work which the children love. We make good use of the train weekly to take classes swimming and for other local visits."
