All meetings are open to the public, although contributions from the public are legally restricted to the Public Participation item.

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.

Chairman 2017-18


Cllr Raymond Franks has been elected as Chairman for 2017-18.  He represents the ward of Grange Moor, where he works with the local residents on a variety of local issues. 

Cllr Bill Armer has been elected as Vice Chairman.  He is in his second term of office and represents the Shelley ward.

The Chairman is the official face of the Council and attends many community events in the Parish throughout the year.  If you would like him to attend an event you are organising, please write/email the Clerk at the Council offices or clerk@kbpc.co.uk 

He will attend if he possibly can, but if he is unavailable, we will try and arrange for the Vice Chairman to attend in his place.
