Welcome to the new Holme Valley Parish Council website
Chairman’s Diary
After four years as Parish Councillor for the Ward of Hepworth, I am privileged to become Chairman of Holme Valley Parish Council for the next civic year.
Quite a lot has been mentioned to me in recent weeks about my age (27) and how I will be much younger than many recent Chairmen of the Council. Whether you are young or old, age shouldn’t be a barrier in anything you want to do in life and if you feel ready and capable to do something, you should just go for it. I hope that over the next year I can inspire more young people to take an active role in the local community.
In my year in office I will be raising funds for two local charities. I am yet to decide on any so far but I am more than welcome to suggestions.

Chairman 2011/2012
