Menston's public toilet

After sadly being vandalised last year, the toilet has now been superbly refurbished and is open for use. In order to prevent any vandalism in the future, the toilet will be locked overnight. A group of volunteers, along with the Kirklands Centre Manager and caretaker, will ensure that the toilet is unlocked by 9.30am and locked after 6pm every day.

Menston in Bloom

The work done by the 'Bloomers' around the village is much appreciated by us all, and there are lots of plans for Menston in Bloom this year. Full details can be found under the 'Organisations' heading above, in the 'About Menston in Bloom' section. New volunteers are always most welcome. 

Proposed development on Bingley Road

The Parish Council, together with the MCA, and the support of our local Councillors and MP, has submitted a robust response to the proposed Bellway Homes development on Bingley Road.

Their response can be viewed under the 'Major Village Issues', 'Derry Hill and Bingley Road' heading on the left. 

Please take the time to read this document; you may find it enlightening as to the submissions made on behalf of the developers! 

Menston Primary School needs you!

Are you able to offer help? We have need of a School Governor, a Crossing Patrol, Casual Lunchtime Supervisors and Casual Play Workers in the before school Care Club.
