Nidderdale
Plus
|
This local community partnership, formed in
2001, covers an area between the Washburn Valley and Masham.
It is effectively an organisation made up of local people who are
committed to working for the future prosperity of the area, and who
give their time voluntarily. Their vision is to create a
community which through the strength of its economy, environment
and social fabric, offers opportunity for all whilst respecting and
drawing upon the area's heritage and nationally important
landscape.
Nidderdale Plus is a 'membership
organisation' and is free to join for anyone who lives or works in
the area. To find out more visit the Nidderdale Plus
