Following tradition, a new Chairman and Vice Chairman were elected at the Annual Meeting on 27 May.  They are Cllr Derek Hardcastle (Chairman) and Cllr John Cowan (Vice Chairman). 

One of the Chairman's roles is to represent the Parish Council at civic and community events.  If you would like to invite him to your event, please contact the Clerk.  He tries to accept all invitations, but if for any reason he is not able to attend, we will pass the invitation to the Vice Chairman.

Around 10 years ago the Council developed a series of 10 circular walks - one around each village.  They take in the beauty spots and pass places of local historic interest.  Full details of the walks can be found on the dedicated website: http://www.kirkburtonparishwalks.co.uk/

Each one has a leaflet giving lots of information about the village and its history, as well as the route.  We still have some available and if you would like a set or just an individual route, please contact the Clerk.  They are also downloadable as a PDF from the above website.

Councillors are now undertaking a review of the walks to check that the routes are still correct and that all the necessary waymarkers are in place.  If you know of any issues with any of the routes or would like to help with this please let us know. 

Details of progress will be posted on here and will also be included in the minutes of the Environment & Climate Change Committee (see the Reports section above).
