Article: High Hoyland Parish Council Article Body Unlike the other parished areas, High Hoyland has a parish meeting, rather than a parish council. However, these meetings are still run in a business-like way, focusing on the interests of local people. Regular items on the agenda include highways and footpaths, environmental issues, planning and crime and safety. The High Hoyland parish area is centred around the village of High Hoyland to the west of Barnsley. Meetings are held six times per year, roughly every two months, at 8.30pm at the Cherry Tree Inn public house in High Hoyland. Extra meetings are held when the need arises, particularly for issues such as planning applications that need a quick response. Everyone in the village can attend the meetings, ask questions and make comments, if they wish, with any decisions put to a vote. For details of meetings, see the parish notice board or contact the clerk.
