The review is open from 6th October 2008. We are asking people to give their views on whether parish and town councils:
- reflect the identities and interests of the community in their area
- are effective
- are convenient.
The deadline for comments is 12 noon on Friday 28th November 2008.

The Parish Council, over the years, has played a leading role in supporting environmental projects in the parish.
It is a co-funder of the Denby Dale Countryside Management Project and is a keen supporter of Denby Dale Parish Environment Trust. The Trust runs a small scale environmental grant scheme that is funded by the Parish Council and grants have been awarded to various schools and conservation groups within the parish area.
The Parish Council is supportive of the local community through its annual grant scheme which is usually held in the spring or early summer.
The Parish Council is a consultee in respect of planning applications. The council considers all planning applications for the parish area and observations are forwarded to Kirklees Council, which is the planning authority for the area.
Above all, the Parish Council acts as a 'grass root' authority, channelling its electorate's concerns through the appropriate departments within other authorities. Its councillors are a visible presence within the community and are able to address the public's concerns through the medium of council meetings.
