Cowling Parish Council Village Survey
June 2010
The parishioners of
Cowling were asked, via a questionnaire
in the newsletter, what they would like
to see happen to the greenfield site,
which lies to the south west of the Acre
Mill development.
The voting forms were returned to a
ballot box in the FM Café and this was
unlocked at the July parish council
meeting by our County Councillor. Many
residents posted their forms directly to
the parish clerk, actually paying the
postage themselves.
The questionnaire asked if residents
wanted affordable housing on this
greenfield site in Cowling It also asked
for the residents wishes for the site
should they not want to see affordable
homes on the site.
The response was 222 votes; 100 by post
and 122 in the box. Some people had also
provided comments to clarify their
views.
These are the results:
Want affordable homes 9 (3 did not want
them on this greenfield site)
Do not want affordable homes 213
Want allotments 94
Want other 1 (playground)
Want site to remain greenfield 118
Summary (rounded to nearest percent):
3% want affordable homes on the
greenfield site
1% want affordable homes elsewhere in
the village
96% do not want affordable homes in
Cowling at all. Of these:
42% want allotments on the site
53% want the site to remain as
greenfield
1% want the site to become a playground
or amenity site
Some examples of comments which
appeared on the forms:
“I would love to grow my own fruit and
veg.”
“Plenty of houses to buy or rent in
Cowling without building any more”
“I have my name on the waiting list for
allotments but have been told I will be
dead before I get one”
“There is no need for any more houses in
the village as there are dozens for
sale”
“I am a disabled lady with my husband
and grandchild…I need a bungalow to live
in”
“Suggest homes for single people,
couples, house share – then families”
“There is a need for jobs rather than
affordable housing”
“Please, please, please can we have more
allotments!”
“Please can we have an allotment. Pretty
please!”
“I do believe there should be affordable
housing in our village but not using
Greenfield sites”
“There are many terraced houses for sale
in Cowling all very reasonably priced,
they are not selling, why would anyone
feel a need for more houses to be
built??”
A few longer comments wanted to see
bungalows for pensioners in the village
but not on greenfield sites.
The Parish Council has informed Craven
District Council of the result of this
survey, and will discuss it at the next
Parish Council meeting. |

We were
told today the sad news that Lillian
Morrell Nee Bradley passed away on
Monday 14th of June in Airedale Hospital
after a very short illness.
Lillian was always very friendly and for
someone of her age she thought nothing
about climbing over the back wall of her
house to head off for a good walk up and
around the village.
It will be someone else to keep David
Hoyle & Alec Starkey company!
RIP Lillian.

Pinnacle Productions Present.....
The world's worst drama group attempt to
put on the cheap and cheerful thriller
Murder at Checkmate Manor. |
Friday 21st and
Saturday 22nd May at 7.30 pm at St
Andrews Hall, Cowling
The four ladies of The
Farndale Avenue Housing Estate
Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society are
a force to be reckoned with. The sheer
scale of their ambition in mounting
"Murder at Checkmate Manor" is only
matched by their overwhelming confidence
in their abilities to master all
fourteen parts.
Even though Gordon, their
stage manager, nobly steps into the
breach at the last minute, their
production is blighted by a series of
disasters. The curse of Am Dram
strikes…. The scenery falls down, sound
effects add a strange note, cues are
missed and those quick changes are just
too slow.
Through this adversity
the ladies soldier on, determined to
provide a good evening out for their
audience, but reveal more about the
relationships between themselves than
the plot.
The play is set in the
drawing room of Checkmate Manor. The
family gathers for the reading of the
will of the late Sir Reginald Bishop.
However, someone else has designs on the
Checkmate millions, and will stop at
nothing to get them. A string of grisly
murders ensues, where everyone has a
motive and everyone is a suspect in a
classic whodunit farce.
Led by their indomitable
Chair, Mrs Reece, the Ladies maintain
the suspense right to the very end. And
just to make the price of admission
extra-specially worth it, they have even
arranged not only a Fashion Show, but a
who-dunnit quiz for all to enjoy.
“Be prepared for an
onslaught of utter incompetence”
“Unmitigatedly awful”
“You need to have some
pretty good performers to act that badly
….. performing multiple roles in a
madcap series of changed costumes”
£5 for adults. £4 for
concessions.
Tickets from Bay Horse
Pub and Bains Shop, and from Julia on
07918 940 540 or on the door. |

Keighley Cup Final
Cowling
FC 3 Long Lee Juniors FC 2 AET
Full time score 1-1
Cowling secured their
first Keighley Cup Final victory in 14
years with a late winner in extra time.
Both teams started nervously and it took
ten minutes before the game settled
down. Cowling began to find some rhythm
in their passing and created a couple of
half chances. Winger Kyle Willis found
his way past the Long Lee right back on
several occasions and both strikers had
opportunities to put the team in front ,
although the Long Lee defence and
‘keeper dealt well with the threat.
Long Lee came back into
the game on the half hour with the
midfield pairing finding space to create
opportunities for the wide men and
strikers. At one point the Cowling
keeper James Metcalfe came off his line
to gather the ball and mistook the rugby
white markings on the pitch for the goal
area and handled the ball outside the
box. After a few nervous moments for the
Cowling bench he was just shown a yellow
card. Going in level at half time both
teams could be pleased with the effort
put in during the half.
The second half started
brightly for Cowling, with the wide men
finding a bit more time and space on the
ball and the team playing some composed
football through the middle. The Long
Lee ‘keeper was by far the busier of the
two number ones and pulled off a number
of good saves. With 15 minutes remaining
Cowling deservedly took the lead from a
set piece. Adam Smith swung a ball in
from the right and Steve Barker rose
with a defender to get a decisive touch
as both players made contact with the
ball. As is often the way, an element of
nervousness crept into Cowling’s game
after going in front as Long Lee began
to press for the equaliser. It arrived
with seven minutes remaining, the Long
Lee striker chasing down a ball and
rifling it in from inside the box.
To Cowling’s credit the
equaliser did not diminish their desire
to win and they finished normal time
again in the ascendency. With players
tiring and going down with cramp it was
always going to be a more open game in
extra time. Both teams had opportunities
in the first half of extra time and both
keepers were forced to make fine saves.
Five minutes after the
restart Cowling went ahead again after
some sustained pressure. A ball back
into the box from the left was met with
a diving header by Adam Smith, Kyle
Willis getting the final touch on the
line to score. Almost immediately after
taking the lead, Cowling were pegged
back to 2-2 by a great turn and shot
from the edge of the box by the Long Lee
striker. Again the response from the
Cowling players was excellent and runs
from Tom Sowerbutts and the tireless Ali
McEwen almost resulted in goals. With
five minutes remaining substitute Lee
Barker was brought down just outside the
area. Adam Smith’s curled free kick
cannoned off the underside of the bar
and was rammed home by Jody Proctor.
Cowling players Proctor, Smith and Mark
Adams were all in the squad that won the
Keighley Cup in 1996 and it was
particularly special for Proctor to
score the winner on Monday as he had
missed the final in ‘96 through injury.
The final five minutes were nervy as
Cowling held on for the win and great
celebrations greeted the final whistle.
Cowling skipper James Complin lifted the
trophy in front of a big crowd of
Cowling supporters
The entire Cowling team
deserve great credit for the performance
and Cowling’s man of the match award
went to Tom Sowerbutts for a fantastic
display in the centre of the park. |

We are back but our
fingers are frozen to our keyboards!
Happy New Year to all and we really do
hope that 2010 will be a very good year!
Even if we are starting it in the
coldest weather I can remember for a
long time but the snow does look lovely
when you look up over to Cowling Hill
and all the dry stone walls are criss
crossing what are now pure white fields
that looks like the perfect winter
scene! Wonderful!
And the South Craven School children
were given an extra 4 days off school.
"E when I was a kid" comes to mind.
Photos from in and around the village
are always welcome. So this time my
thanks go to Tim Abbott for sending me
the image that we are using for the new
main banner on the site!
In the next couple of weeks we are
hoping to introduce new face to the
Cowlingweb family. A new admin for the
message board.
It will be a name and face that many
people will already know and I hope she
will enjoy helping us out as much as we
are looking forward to her joining us in
keeping the site up to date and as
relevant to the village as possible.
Cowlingweb is FREE and for that reason
we do not chase information to go on it.
If a village events is not publicised on
here it is simple due to the organisers
not getting in touch or supplying us
with the event details.
So that is it. The start of a New Year.
Lets all wait and see what 2010 brings! |
| But remember we have
had snow for the past 3 year now! |
|
|
|
 |
It’s
been a fun and very rewarding journey to
get Cowlingweb to where is it today and
along the way we have met some really
nice people some who have become really
good friends.
But time moves on and time is something
we are finding ourselves with less and
less these days so we need help to keep
the website running on a day to day
basis.
We are looking for someone to admin the
message board and also people to admin
and moderate a forum that has been in
the background of the site for over a
year now but was never implemented into
the website.
So if you feel you can spare a couple of
hours a week and want to help keep the
website moving forward we would like to
hear from you.

mail@cowlingweb.co.uk
