Recent activity on the land in front of the doctors’ surgery has lead to speculation of its possible use as a temporary burial site for Kirklees Council. The council’s application for a burial site at Stirley below Castle Hill has run into problems and it now urgently needs additional land for burials.
However Yetton Together spokesperson Keith Durkin was able to reassure residents that the community group was responsible.
‘We are digging over the land to prepare it for the planting of about 1000 petunias over the next few weeks. The YT 200 Club has given us £100 to create a attractive display. This is a temporary measure. We hope to have something more permanent by next year. We would welcome anyone who wants to help with the planting – 10:30 Saturday June 30th’
Any suggestions on how it should be developed? One resident would like to see some public art on the land.
What do you think?

I’d like to see a Kirkheaton sign in the centre – like they have in the villages in Cornwall and Norfolk. Maybe the school children could have a competition to design it based on what they think represents our village
What about finding out if there is a local Yettoner who does sculptures and would be happy to do a piece of work ?? A budding Henry Moore . One of my daughters friends at Kirkheaton has a friend who’s sister is at the royal school of art , I will ask her to ask if she is interested.

Brilliant suggestion Michael – it would be good if we could have some ‘home grown’ talent on display on the site. I hope you will be able follow it up
