Local Democracy Week is an annual celebration of the difference that citizens are making in local places across Kirklees. It’s a way of helping people to get involved in their community, learn about democracy and have a voice in the decisions that really matter for our everyday lives. There are activities and events throughout October, including opportunities to share your story and to say how you feel about getting involved in your community.
How do you feel about life in Newsome? The Newsome Centre and our local councillors want to find out what really matters to us all in Newsome. Please take part in Newsome Voices from 20th May to 20th June 2023 to share your experiences and ideas. It’s an opportunity to say what you hope Newsome will be like in the future and to be part of creating a plan for our area, based on what really matters to local people.
You can take part online or look out for the team of local volunteers, councillors and council staff who will be out and about at local events.
