The Great Get Together

June 16, 2017Newscarl

The Great Get Together is taking place this weekend (16 – 18 June 2017).

It is a national celebration of Jo Cox’s belief that people have more in common than that which divides them.

The idea, inspired by Jo Cox – MP for Batley and Spen who was killed on 16 June last year), is to organise the biggest neighbourhood celebrations since the Jubilee street parties.

People are getting together with their neighbours to share food and celebrate ‘all that we hold in common’. From street parties and shared barbecues to picnics and bake offs there is lots going on across the country.

You could even just share a pot of tea and some biscuits with your neighbour! What matters is that people have fun and communities are brought closer together.

We’ve listed below a few open events that we know are taking place in Kirklees, but The Great Get Together website has the full list.

The Assaults on Emergency Workers (Offences) Bill 2017- 2019 will bring in harsher penalties against those convicted of attacks on emergency crews – and will hopefully act as a deterrent in the future.

What do you make of this new bill? How you think it will work out? Let us know in the comments.

Over the weekend KLTV visited Highburton, to be a part of the opening of a new skatepark in memory of Isaac Nash, who was taken away by strong tides in a tragic accident while vacationing with his family in Anglesey in August 2014.

Isaac was swimming with his 10-year-old brother Xander when the tides picked up and it became difficult for them to swim.

Their dad and granddad, Adam and Paul Nash, both jumped in to try and save the brothers but only Xander could be rescued, and Isaac’s body was never found.

After the Tragedy, the Nash family formed the Isaac Nash Trust in his honour and vowed to build a community skatepark in his memory.

Over £100,000 was raised within a year of his passing thanks to generous donations from the community and groups such as RNLI who donated £10,000.

However, the project was delayed for quite some time after some of the local villagers, who were backed by local Conservative councillors, objected to the plans, as they believed it would attract anti-social behaviour.

Eventually though the plans went through and on Saturday (21nd April) over 1,000 guests joined Isaac’s family in a huge community event at Burton Acres Recreation Ground.

In this video we take a look at the new park and what it means for the Nash family, and the community as a whole.
