Yetton Together
Yetton Together is an offspring of the Network Group. The group was established after a public meeting in June 2010 where people volunteered to canvass views of Kirkheaton residents in a variety of ways. Besides a steering committee there are a number of people who have volunteered to do other tasks such as questionnaire/news letter distribution etc More information regarding the work of this group can be seen on the Community Plan page of the web site. Anyone interested in becoming involved should contact Trish Mellor, Chair of the group or go to the Open Forum – a short meeting held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7:30pm at present in the library where residents can have their say.
