Welcome to the Denby Parish Community Action Group Website. The Action Group was created as a result of a public meeting in Upper Denby School in November 2006 which expressed an overwhelming desire for a local approach to government in the villages of Denby (Upper and Lower), Birdsedge and High Flatts.
Our principal concern is to create a Community Plan, along the lines of a Parish Plan, which will cater for the needs of our villages, rather than the wider area (thirteen villages in total) covered by the Denby Dale Parish Council. We are also very interested in :
  • the traffic problems along the A629 and through the villages of Upper and Lower Denby
  • the management of open spaces within the parish [see Denby Delf]
  • the provision of bus shelters and seats
  • the provision of valuable community meeting places, such as Birdsedge Village Hall
  • the accessibility of footpaths
  • planning and conservation areas
  • the review of parish status [see Petition]

Residents of the villages are encouraged to come along to our meetings to raise their concerns and discuss these and other matters.
STOP PRESS! The Parish Review by Kirklees Council is finally underway. You have until midday on 28th November to submit your views on the current Denby Dale Parish Council and the changes you would like to see made to ensure our democratic future. The address to send your submission is: The Admin Team, Policy and Governance Service, 2nd Floor, Civic Centre 3, Huddersfield, HD1 2EY; or you can email policy.governance@kirklees.gov.uk; or phone 01484 416489. Make sure YOUR voice is heard! See our petition (delivered over 2 years ago) for the reasons why the review is so important.
