The council is committed to improving services delivered at a local level. One way of contributing to this is by aligning council services and key partners so that they can operate together more effectively in our seven localities across Kirklees.

The three goals of locality working

Better common understanding of place and priorities within each locality
Better and more co-ordinated engagement of residents and councillors in developing responsive, locally sensitive services and investment to shape those places
Services and partners working better together to improve life for residents.

One of the benefits of locality working is more interaction between front line staff working in localities. We recognise that this already happens in some localities and between some services but through locality working we can better support staff to be creative in solving the issues they face and improve the service they deliver.

The seven localities

Batley, Birstall and Birkenshaw
Denby Dale and Kirkburton
Dewsbury and Mirfield
Huddersfield North

Locality leads

The Council is committed to locality working. Council Services - and our key partners the police, health and fire services - have identified locality leads. The locality leads meet to increase their mutual understanding of each locality, of the work of other services and how they engage with residents. They are at the forefront of helping their service deliver locality working. Your locality champion can give you the names of the locality leads for your patch.
