Royal British Legion – Bramhope Branch A.G.M. – 27th November 2025

The Bramhope Branch of the Royal British Legion will hold it’s A.G.M. on Thursday 27th November 2025, Time 19.00 for 19.30 and the venue Bramhope Village Hall, Old Lane, Bramhope, Leeds LS 16 9AZ. (also goes under the name Robert Craven Hall ). Non-members are welcome to attend. 

After many appeals for help and new members the Bramhope Branch is applying to be County Supported as it is currently noncompliant with R.B.L. regulations meaning it has insufficient Officers to cover the important positions in Branch management.

The Branch is committed to deliver Community Support to ex service people but membership of the British Legion is open to all.

Gas works on the Junction of Otley Old Rd, Tinshill Lane and Cookridge Lane

Northern Gas Network are planning to carry out gas pipe replacement works along the Otley Old Road from Monday 17th November until Wednesday 10th December.

The works will start from Otley Old Rd junction with Tinshill Road and Cookridge Lane, where 3 way lights will be required for approximately 1 week, and continue along Otley Old Rd under rolling two way lights for remaining 2 weeks. The works will stop just before junction of Otley Old Rd and Holtdale Approach near the Ralph Thoresby School and this junction will not be covered by the works at this stage.
