KirkburtonThis is a featured page

Kirkburton is a large village approximately 5 miles from Huddersfield. The main village is based on North Road which is home to many different shops, takeaways, hairdressers and the Post Office. Parking is very limited in the village, but it is free when you finally find a spot.

Tescos would like to build a new Tesco Express on the site of a former petrol station. This move has been heavily protested by the locals and was rejected by Kirklees, but this decision has now been overruled by the government.

Children are educated at Kirkburton First, Kirkburton Middle and Shelley College.

There is a voluntary group which provides all residents and businesses in Kirkburton with the "Burton Bulletin" which is a quarterly publication featuring articles of interest to the villages. The Bulletin is backed by the Kirkburton and Highburton Community Association which is another voluntary organisation which runs the Village Hall and the groups which use it.

There is also the Kirkburton Business Association which meets on a regular basis and raises money for local causes.
