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. 


However, sometimes items need to be taken in private if the discussion involves disclosure of personal information or details of a future contract.  The decisions taken in private sessions are public knowledge and will be included in the minutes.

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.

New Contracts

There is currently an opportunity to submit quotes for two contracts.  They are:

Grange Moor Allotments: Clearance work required on two plots to bring them back into a condition to be re-let.  Work includes removing existing sheds / structures including the contents, some of which may contain hazardous materials. 

Tree Maintenance at Kirkheaton Churchyard: Ivy and deadwood to be removed from a number of trees in the churchyard of St John's Parish Church.  The 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.
