<\/span>Hi there <\/span><\/p>\n

For those of you\u00a0who haven’t been to\u00a0Slaithwaite station today or yesterday\u00a0there is now a metal bench on the <\/span>Huddersfield<\/span> facing side. \u00a0We – we being the South Pennines Rail Partnership – have been running a young people’s project with funding from the Colne Valley Area Committee.\u00a0 The project has involved meeting with some local young people over a few months, taking them on some visits to stations with artwork and the bench has been designed with them and made by local firm, Steel Dreams. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

We had\u00a0a good little launch event yesterday\u00a0with a lot of people there including six\u00a0of the young people who had participated in the project.\u00a0\u00a0Thanks very much to all\u00a0of you who came along.\u00a0 There’ll be an article and picture\u00a0in the Examiner.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>It’s quite likely that graffiti and\/or damage will happen – we all need to keep an eye on it so if you notice any damage etc please can you ring Steel Dreams – they’ve got an anti-graffiti kit now and have kindly said they will sort it out – their number is 841642 – so do ring them.\u00a0 They live up at Hill Top and have their workshop on the canal so go past the station regularly. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Do continue to ring the police about any illegal activities\/anti-social behaviour etc at or near the station. <\/span><\/p>\n

BTP free number 0800 40 50 40<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Local neighbourhood police – 436855<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

There is more funding that Kirklees Community Safety Officer, Helen Simpson, successfully applied for and which is going to go towards making planters so we plan to involve the young people\u00a0at the new youth centre – The Basement – when it opens – due in March.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Thanks a lot and I’ll send out a couple of pics from today as soon as I get some.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Hope you like the bench!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Cheers<\/span><\/p>\n

Jean <\/span><\/p>\n
