Grange Moor Christmas Tree
We're sorry that people aren't happy at the new location for the tree. We found out very late that we couldn't use the original position and were in danger of not having a tree at all. Fortunately the Church stepped in and saved the day, for which we are grateful.

Unless otherwise stated the meetings will be held at Burton Village Hall.  There will be a public participation session at the beginning of all Council and Committee meetings, when people can speak for up to 3 minutes on any issue which falls within the Council's / Committee's  remit, with the total session lasting a maximum of 15 minutes. All meetings are open to the public, although contributions from the public are legally restricted to the Public Participation item.

Christmas Trees


The Council has provided 9 Christmas trees across the Parish in: Farnley Tyas, Grange Moor, Highburton, Kirkheaton, Lascelles Hall, Shelley, Shepley, Stocksmoor and Thurstonland.  All are paid for by the Council with the exception of one, which is funded by Kirklees Council.

We would like to thank the staff of Kirklees Council for installing the trees and sorting out the electricity.  We are especailly grateful for the work at Grange Moor, where we had to find a new location due to it no longer being possible to put it on the recreation ground. 

We also had problems in Flockton where the tree which used to take the festoon of lights had been unexpectedly cut down.  Despite our best efforts it wasn't possible to sort out a different tree in the very short space of time available, but we will look into it and try to sort it out for next year. If you have a view on a new location for the tree, or lights on a planted tree, please let us know.
