granted for the demolition and replacement of a house at the top of
Hill Top steps.

representative of the Local History Group. John Beaumont has asked
Granville Clay for a member of the Group's committee to sit on the

Liaison i) Local
ii) Yorkshire A visitor from Littleborough, Don Pickis, a vice
president of the Yorkshire and Humberside Amenities Societies
Association, addressed the meeting. Don outlined the need to draw
together Yorkshire and Lancashire societies, to form a more powerful
regional voice, particularly in light of the current trend towards
regional government. John Beaumont thanked Don for his attendance
and agreed, particularly in relation to potential planning issues
surrounding the M62 which runs through both counties. He expressed
regret that there is little communication between the Civic
Societies of Kirklees, let alone cross-county cooperation.
Any other business Next executive committee meeting at
Slaithwaite civic Hall on Sept 24th.
