Forthcoming Meetings:

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.

The agenda will normally be available about a week beforehand from the Meetings Page.

Repairs to path at Kirkheaton Churchyard complete

Kirkheaton Churchyard

The work to the path at the rear of the Church is now complete.  The contractor has re-bedded the loose flagstones, and replaced the stolen ones with new ones, which are such a close match to the original, we can't tell the difference.

Re-Advertisement of Contract

Tree Maintenance at Kirkheaton Churchyard: The problem of ivy and deadwood on a number of trees is to be addressed.  However, the original specification has been amended, so the actual removal of the ivy is no longer required.  Please see the Updated Specification for full details.

All work is subject to TPO permissions. 

Contractors will be required to produce copies of the public liability insurance cover and risk assessments for the work in advance of appointment. 

If contractors are new to the Council references will also be required.  Please supply the names and contact details of 3 people for whom similar work has been carried out.
 
To submit a quote please complete the response form and return it to the Council by midnight on Wednesday
6 September.
