How SaltaireGuide News works

Independent & local

SaltaireGuide is run from Saltaire/Shipley, not a distant city office. We walk the same streets, use the same trains and see the same roadworks you do.

  • No scammy ad units or autoplay videos.
  • No clickbait, no paywall pop-ups mid-sentence.
  • Short, clear explainers with links to original sources.

What we do (and don't) cover

  • We focus on practical local changes: transport, planning, openings/closures, events and community spaces.
  • We don't do live crime reporting, rumours or drama lifted from social media.
  • We link out to official council / operator pages when you need the formal detail.

Got a correction? We'd rather fix it quickly than leave something wrong online — see below.

Please don't send anything confidential or unsafe. We base our coverage on things that are already public or officially announced.
