Scott Borrows Independent Councillor.

Good evening all,

So on the 14th July 2025 I sent one of many emails to Councillor Katie Kimber and other members of the luddendenfoot ward of Calderdale Council after a walk around Banksfield estate pointing out many problems and things that desperately needed working on and updating and I am now pleased to say after quite a wait things are under way starting with the straightening of the stairways. Please see my other requests in the pictures attached and here's hoping that the works continue in the new year.

So back in July I put forward some proposals (see below) for Hebden Royd Town Council to vote on, we did and they were unanimously voted for by all HRTC councillors in attendance, to send these items (along with a large number of signatures from members of the public) for Calderdale Council to discuss and hopefully rectify. We are now in November and we have as far as I know had nothing back from CMBC...... Why? If the town council is speaking on behalf of the people of the town ( a conduit of you like ) why are CMBC doing nothing about this.

I just wanted to update you. 4 months and zero acknowledgement from the people who are supposed to serve you.

Once again businesses and there staff of and the upper will have another main road closure to deal with due to lack of proactive works needed on general infrastructure.

Definitely lessons to be learned here Calderdale Council PROactivity is much more cost effective than REactivity. Please start doing what is necessary to protect our communities from flooding. In the coming weeks I will post more pictures to show how neglected our drains and gullies really are.

So following on with the Drainage issues around the Valley and a number of complaints about Mytholm Steeps, Church Lane and Eaves I have managed to take around 50 photos of blocked drains and gullies on these roads, and quite frankly it's pretty disgusting that this is the state of our basic infrastructure. I believe this has a massive impact on us all in times of flooding.

If you have problems with drainage please email: [email protected]

Good Morning Everyone,

I am trying desperately at the moment to get Calderdale Council to start to be proactive in looking after our basic amenities and infrastructure. I recently took these pictures of the drains around Banksfield, Midgley Road and some surrounding areas. If you as I do believe drainage maintenance is a massive issue in this Valley which is quite famous for flooding 🤔 please could you send any pictures and/or videos of damaged or poorly managed Drains or roads.... I was recently told there is no money for this!
