Your 2024/25 Neighbourhood Plan Update.
Landscaping has taken place at Maple garth and Cliff Mews. At Maple Garth we took out all the old unsightly shrubs and bark chippings and replaced them with a selection of beautiful easy maintainable plants and pebbles. Not only does it look amazing it has also reduced the upkeep costs which will have a positive impact on service charges moving forward.
Cliff Mews\Mount View, the developers have finally finished the landscaping and a fence has been erected to the rear of Cliff Mews which offers customer more privacy. there is still a little bit of work to do to the side of Cliff Mews, but we are getting there.

*I just wanted to make you aware of the current Kirklees Digital Inclusion offered through the Council, for those that do not know much about it, and how it may benefit you or people you may know.
Sally Kerry is the Digital Inclusion Librarian at Kirklees Council. Sally is promoting digital inclusion for people on low incomes, and vulnerable individuals, who do not have access to the internet at home and would benefit from doing so for connecting with others, job search, etc.. This includes the 3-month loans of Chromebooks with internet access to people, along with 6 month SIM cards with 40GB of data and unlimited calls for people to use in your own phones. There are also digital offers through Kirklees libraries where you can access digital newspapers, both national and international, along with digital magazines and audiobooks. This is open to everyone and is free of charge!
In order to express interest in obtaining one, you need to register for one on the My Kirklees website. If you are then authorised one, you would collect the item from the Studies Library on Victoria Lane.
