    Taking away that shite school actually being in Leeds, I would agree. There is very little non green belt left to develop in Bradford. The only place I could think of would be to buy Manningham Mills sports ground where Campion play or possibly Shay Grange golf course.

    Ask HUDDERSFIELD fans. I baited then relentlessly back in 2018, I know it’s cruel , but they suggested I was talking Horlicks. And guess what Hoyles family said enough is enough.

    Looking at the weather, we need a game and a half from Vernham and Ridehalgh.

    I don’t need to look at reports, first hand experience, and I found it a very good school, and it still is from what I see daily.
    Are you anti private school, or what else you basing your general assumptions?

    I used to use the driving range there every night when it opened in the early 90s, I know there is a proposal to build houses on the old Sharp’s site and a crematorium opposite the entrance to the golf range. Green belt so expect a bit of opposition

    If you looked at the reports then it will show its not better than many other schools in the area.

    No, I am not anti private school at all but as a private school compared to others its shite for sure. Not even in the same league as many in Yorkshire.

    They've already built on the Sharpes site, behind it and I think the main building is apartments. The crem is approved and out to tender.

    I was told express golf are closing and the golf course is being built on. Earmarked in the BMDC unitary plan for housing. Not sure if that will happen though, so close to Heaton Woods.

    Shows how in touch I am!! Then again I left the area in ‘92, only coming back for University holidays and the odd summer working at Hallmark.
    Being close to Heaton Woods won’t make a difference to the council!

    Strange as that is their address. As JCT headquarters is North of the entrance to the site of the school, further up the road towards Rawdon yet is also in Bradford. Tordoff House, Apperley Bridge, Bradford BD10 0PQ.

    You still lived in Bradford though. People living in East Bierley pay their rates to Kirklees, but their address is still Bradford for example.

    It makes no difference to me, however it seems strange, perhaps confusing, that it is not ‘convenient’ to have an address in the place that your building is actually located.
    My phone number is 07********* or prefix with a +44 so apart from being in the UK, I could be anywhere.;)

    I believe the actual Welcome to Leeds" border sign is just above the turn off for Apperley Bridge Station.

    Very true. Ilkley being a prime example, having a Leeds postcode and paying rates to Bradford. The Blue Pig at Fagley also used to have a Leeds phone number.

    Essentially the city you are in is the one in which you pay your Council Tax to as they are responsible for your services. Therefore Woodhouse Grove is in Leeds.

    Only because thats a mobile. If you had a landline it would probably be 0161 which says you live in Manchester (or at least the part of Greater Manachester covered by that code)

    No, but I do know that Morrisons head office is about ten yards inside the Bradford Boundary and Berwick Rangers, whilst based in Northumberland, play in the Scottish Leagues.
