Brierley Labour Party
At the
Brierley Labour Party meeting, which was held in Brierley Social
club recently, Sylvia Nixon reported on the progress of the Brierley
Village Community Partnership in formulating a constitution, and the
proposed Public meeting planned for 18 May when a management
committee would be elected. A report that the Grimethorpe
Partnership had made representation to take over Brierley School was
deplored. "It is ironic that the Grimethorpe Partnership have now
made an application when all the time they never did anything in
Brierley. We now have a Brierley Partnership who are perfectly
constituted and capable of looking after the interest of the
Brierley Community " said Sylvia. "I am totally opposed to becoming
a sub group of the Grimethorpe Partnership, which is what it seem
some of the steering group are working towards. The Brierley
community voted unanimously to have a totally independent
Partnership and that is the only acceptable option" Sylvia remarked.
Other
items discussed were,
The
meeting to alert residents about a firm of Liverpool solicitors
canvassing tenants to take legal action on the issue of house
repairs and the need for tenants to be aware they may be subject to
legal charges.
Resolved that the campaign to abolish the Town Council should be
rejected as a complete waste of Public Money.
That
the Town Council take urgent action to improve the footpath and
playground equipment in Brierley Park.
That

that the Barnsley Community Build scheme makes every effort to
recruit young people from Brierley, Grimethorpe and Shafton
