Latest news:

Election of Parish Councillors 

Bradford Council has received 8 nominations for the 7 seats on the Parish Council. This means that there will be a contested election on 2nd May. At the last Parish Council meeting it was agreed that, in this eventuality, all candidates would be offered the opportunity to provide a personal statement. These are now available on the Elections menu of the Parish Council page /Menston/parish_council_elections-3121.aspx

New Community defibrillator 

The Parish Council has funded another defibrillator which has been installed on the car park side of the cricket club building. Anyone who needs to use it should dial 999 and the emergency services will give the code to unlock the equipment and explain how to use it.

Since 1st April 2018, Kirklands Community Centre is managed by the Kirklands Community Trust.

Menston's public toilet

After sadly being closed due to vandalism, the toilet has been superbly refurbished and is open for use. In order to prevent any vandalism in the future, the toilet will be locked overnight.
