Susan Hinchcliffe and the Shipley Labour Action Team congratulated Burley Community Council on their fantastic victory to gain village green status for Burley House Field.  Community Campaigners have battled against Bradford Council for a decade to ensure that the Green is retained for local people in perpetuity.  Susan Hinchcliffe, Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Shipley said, “I think this is a great example of community activism.  The campaigners deserve their success.  I’m sure Parish Councils all over Shipley have watched this battle with interest and will take encouragement from the result.”
