We know how difficult it has been the last month for small local businesses due to the Covid-19 pandemic and to help we are offering all local businesses an opportunity to advertise on this site for a small charge.

This in turn helps this website to keep going.

For the months of April and May 2020 we are offering advertising on our new Local Business Directory  for a small fee of £5 for 4 months or £10 for 12 months – your business will be listed with your logo (if you have one) and a small description of the service you offer.

Each business who takes up this offer will also have their logo on a posting on the main section of the site.

So if you are local to Ardsley or Tingley and are interested, please do contact us by filling in the contact us form.

All monies raised this way will go back into this website and West Ardsley Action group. Please note we are unable to accommodate large businesses at this time.

Yorkshire Water have now made the decision to close Ardsley Reservoir

Please do not visit

The government direction is clear – do not drive to exercise- despite this and the fact Yorkshire water have blocked the car park, every day numerous cars are still arriving at the reservoir and are blocking the lane to the reservoir, which is an access road to residents and also Haighmoor Rd is being blocked, effecting residents and other road users including buses.

Please be sensible – please be safe
