Baildon Parish Council

Great News!

Bradford Council have voted £75000 (yes 3/4 million pounds) towards the new Baildon Link building.  We are now working towards the 1/2 million from the Big Lottery and then we are well on the way to the Country's first zero-carbon community centre. The Link opened fully in 2011.

You can read more on the Baildon Village website here.

Baildon Parish Council Logo Competition Results.

Soon after the Baildon Parish Council came into being it was realised that some sort of identifying logo would be needed. In the past Baildon Urban District Council had an official Coat of Arms that can still be seen on the Ian Clough Hall.

It was decided to invite the local schools to produce something and prizes would be awarded for the best submissions. Councillor Joanne Crowther volunteered to contact the schools and co-ordinate the competition.

The logo incorporating the winning artwork is shown here after being processed by Ilkley Print of Dockfield Lane, Shipley.

The winning entry was taken to Illkley Print and incorporated with some text. This logo will be used on the Baildon Parish Council correspondence and can be seen at the top left of the web site.

The winning entry was created by Emily Rhodes of Hoyle Court. She is photographed here with her gift voucher.

And this is a scan of the winning entry.

The Parish Council have involved local schools in designing a logo for the Parish Council. The entries have been received and at the Parish Council meeting on Monday 10th December 2007 the Councillors chose the winning entries. Prizes will be given and presentations will take place at the schools for those who created the winning logos.

The winning artwork has been taken to The Print Room (Ilkley) Ltd. of Dockfield Road, Shipley for them to scan and convert it into electronic format for us to use on the Parish Council stationery. It will also appear on this web site when available.

Hoyle Court and Sandal Primary schools both made good entries and the overall winner is Emily Rhodes from Hoyle Court. Well done to Emily whose picture has now been converted into a logo and put onto Parish Council stationery.

All entries were of a very high standard.
