community activities and groups in the Hoyland Milton and Rockingham areas
including Pilley and Tankersley to the West of the motorway. Its local not
global but being on the internet means its available to the world. Please
feel free to get in touch and let us know what we can do for you.
Stronger Community Links. One central point that promotes community.
Celebrating hard work and promoting local success, activities, events
and people. Keeping things local but telling the world about the great
work being undertaken in and around our communities today.
Hoyland is Changing. Plans to redevelop the old Town Hall are now taking
shape. A new dicount store and a new location for the market along with car
parking space are all part of the redevelopment planned for Hoyland town
centre. Lets hope they take care of the Town Hall clock this time.
Take a Moment. If you have never had the time to stop and look at the vista
all around us then perhaps you should. We are fortunate to live in a very
beautiful place. Our communities are part of the rolling foothills of the
Pennies and provide us with some stunning views and countryside. Take a moment
and see the community.
