High Hoyland Parish Meeting

HIGH HOYLAND PARISH MEETING

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 & 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 2 months, at 8.00 pm 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.

Mrs. Joanna Roberts, 3 Church Lane, High Hoyland, Barnsley S75 4BJ
