What a brilliant day spent within the jewels of the Boothtown crown Bankfield Museum & Akroyd Park.

It was great to see large numbers of people from not only the local community but from across Calderdale attend the Boothtown FunFest

Boothtown is special

#LetsGetSociallyActive

Well done HalifaxOpportunities and HxCentral Initiative 🧡 for organising a fabulous event in Boothtown today. The community came out in force to support the event with over 2000 attending! Look at the queues at the 51st Pellon stalls!! #improvinglives #raisingaspirations

More than 4 out of 10 insect species face extinction. Others are declining badly. We can help in our gardens and community spaces by not being too tidy, planting nectar-rich flowers & trees, and not using weedkillers and pesticides. More: bit.ly/2FCEJYz

Yet more problem fly tipping on Hanson Lane! 😡 We need more enforcement in Park Ward urgently please Calderdale Council to stop this disgusting & illegal activity!

One of the best, most informative calls to action I have ever read. Thoroughly recommend 🌱

👏👏👏 #GrowYourOwn #BudgetingLife #NoFoodWaste All good stuff.

Andrew Marr, 'Are you absolutely clear that our environmental and food standards will not be loosened in any way as a result of leaving the EU?'

Michael Gove, 'Yes.. We could have a green Brexit that ensures Britain is an environmental leader'

👏👏👏Two fantastic organisations who both take pride in our heritage and Halifax community. #Halifax #Haligonians #community

A record breaking turnout for a Park Ward forum this evening at Hanson Lane Enterprise Centre.

It’s great to see so many residents out on a Monday evening to speak to their local councillors, police and other services based in Park Ward.
