The Green Business Network (GBN) is an award-winning not-for-profit organisation delivering environmental advice and projects mainly in Yorkshire. ABLE Kirklees will be a fish farm and outdoor learning training centre. The project will be based on disused land at Walkley Lane in Heckmondwike and will regenerate two former rail embankments, rail sidings and a landfill site into a social education and training centre for Kirklees young people.
Project Overview
The site of former rail sidings on Walkley Lane, Heckmondwike has been offered to the Green Business Network (GBN) by Kirklees Council to establish a fish farm, and outdoor learning training centre based on the successful ABLE project it has set up in Wakefield.
The new project will provide social education and training for Kirklees young people and could also host a visitor attraction. The Walkley Lane project would host a bigger fish farm and would provide a training and education programme for youngsters excluded from school and those on community punishment orders.
The innovative project will have an eco build, and will not only provide fish and horticultural produce for food, but will also be a vital training resource. The project could also host a coffee shop and toilets for people making use of the Spen Valley Greenway which runs alongside the site.
