Welcome to Denby Dale Parish Council
Cllr Nick Wilson, Chair of the Council 2009-2010
Welcome to the website of Denby Dale Parish Council. The site offers information about the parish and about the work of the parish council itself. The activities of the parish council are recorded in the minutes of its meetings, all of which are placed on this site once they have been formally approved by the council.
A full list of the elected members of the council is available, together with information about their committee membership and their membership of other bodies on which they serve as representatives of the council.
We hope you find the website useful and easy to navigate and a helpful way of keeping up to date with what's happening in your area.
