Stainland & District
Parish Council
As a council, we make all kinds of decisions on issues that affect the residents of Stainland, Holywell Green, Jagger Green and Sowood. Probably the most common areas that we get involved with are planning matters where we represent the views of residents. We also look at the quality and maintenance of the local environment such as open and communal spaces, and importantly, we campaign for and better services and facilities.
As a parish council we have limited powers to make decisions ourselves, but we are happy to work with any organisation or individual that aligns with our goals of promoting the district and improving the lives of those that live here. To this end, we negotiate with those that do have the power to make final decisions such as Calderdale MBC. We are open, transparent, and local, we want to support all those helping to make the district a better place to live and work.
As a democratic organisation representing the views of residents, we are always keen to hear from residents, so please get involved contact us, come to one of our meetings, get involved in the work we are doing.
