This weekend, you will hopefully see a new Union flag flying over Bailiff Bridge's Memorial Park after Bailiff Bridge Scout Group arranged for a replacement to be secured for the community.
Many of our Beavers, Cubs and Scouts had noticed it was looking faded and in need of repair so, working with community leader Malcolm Silkstone and Calderdale Council, we've purchased a new flag, handed it over to Malcolm, and it should now be in place for Remembrance Sunday and proudly flying into the future.
💬 Scout Group Chair Stephen Naylor:
"We are incredibly proud to be part of the community in Bailiff Bridge and organising for the Union flag to be replaced is just one small way we can give something back to the area. There is no more poignant or important occasion than Remembrance Sunday, and the flag, alongside our beautiful Display of Remembrance, is an important demonstration of our tribute to those who gave their tomorrows for our children’s todays.”
💬 Community Leader Malcolm Silkstone:
“Thank you to all the young people, their parents and the groups’ leaders for once again being such kind, passionate and important parts of our community. I can’t wait to see the new Union flag proudly flying over Bailiff Bridge.”
