Signpost Project

The Parish Council and Malhamdale Inititative are looking at the possibility of replacing some of the very urban signage present in Malhamdale with signs more in keeping and traditional to our location. We have submitted a LEADER bid for funding and new OLD signage is being designed.

Post Office Clapper Bridge Project

The Parish Council and Malhamdale Inititative are also looking into the refurbishment or rebuilding of the Post office clapper bridge in Malham, we have applied for LEADER funding and YDNPA have promised help and some funding to adopt the path as a footpath and to install a new traditional footbridge with a decorative handrail made by our local blacksmith. Watch this space - we hope to start installation in early 2012.

Malham Public Toilets

In April 2006 Craven District Council decided to close the very run down and unmaintained Public Conveniences (Toilets) in the centre of Malham village. These are now run by the Parish Council and have been repaired to an acceptable standard. Various fundraising activities are in place to maintain and keep these facilities open, if you have any suggestions and improvements for these facilities please contact the Parish Council.

Kirkby Malhamdale Lengthsman

A Part time Lengthsman is now employed by the Parish Council to complete a range of jobs including, Grass Cutting, Bench, Fence and Wall maintenance, Toilet cleaning and maintenance. Various other projects and improvements are planned as funding allows.

Noticeboard

As part of the Lengthsman Project a Noticeboard has been erected on the Public Conveniences in the middle of Malham and advertising space is let to local businesses and services to raise funds towards the cost of the Lengthsman. The noticeboard is well located in the centre of the Village and generates considerable interest from our large visiting tourist population. Please contact Chris Wildman if you are interested in placing an advertisement.
