On Tuesday, 17th September 2024, Steve Morrell, Chairman of Sutton Parish Council had the honour of officially inaugurating the Punjab Pavilion Takeaway, located at 1 Main Street, Sutton in Craven, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. During the event, Councillor Morrell expressed his full support for the new business, emphasising the importance of fostering local enterprises in the village. He extended his best wishes to the team at Punjab Pavilion, encouraging them as they embark on this exciting new venture.

Punjab Pavilion Takeaway promises to bring a fresh dining option to the community, offering a wide range of dishes inspired by traditional Punjabi cuisine. Customers can conveniently place their orders either by telephone at 01535 668 615 or through various online platforms, including JustEat, Keighley Eats, and FoodHub. The takeaway aims to serve both locals and visitors alike, delivering a taste of authentic Punjabi flavors right to their doorstep.

The opening of Punjab Pavilion is seen as a positive development for Sutton in Craven, contributing to the village’s growing selection of takeaway options and supporting the local economy locally.

Let’s Talk Active is part of our series of Let’s Talk conversations with you. The conversations are part of our continued commitment to listen to people who live and work in North Yorkshire. North Yorkshire Council wants to hear from you! Fill in the online survey at www.northyorks.gov.uk/LetsTalk

The council would like to know if you are physically active, what is important to you about being active, and any barriers you face. This will help them to develop council leisure facilities and community-based sport and leisure services now and in the future. Watch a short video about the survey here https://youtu.be/nBG5FRZGw_0

The council’s new Active North Yorkshire service will have a stronger focus on health and wellbeing, supporting more people to be active, especially people who may need additional support and who don’t currently use our services. If you are a leisure centre user, gathering information on how you perceive and experience your local leisure centre will help the council to identify strengths as well as areas for improvement. Please also fill in the survey if you don’t currently use council facilities - understanding why you don’t use them is just as valuable.

Understanding what’s important to you in terms of physical activity helps to develop facilities and plan programmes of activity. It helps the council to know what they currently do well, what they could do better and differently and where the gaps are. 

As part of a wider approach to improving health and wellbeing, leisure centres could potentially offer a broader range of support, such as health checks, nutritional advice, or mental health services. The council is keen to explore your interest in these additional services and the benefits of a wider approach. 

There are several ways you can take part in Let’s Talk Active:

You can fill in an online survey here https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/LetsTalk – the survey is on Commonplace, which is a safe and easy-to-use online tool used to engage with communities, by over 250 organisations including neighbouring councils in Leeds and West Yorkshire. 

If you would prefer, you can pick up a paper copy from your local library, leisure centre or main local office and return it in the envelope provided.
