GREAT

It’s our GREAT Fun Day on August 9th. Read all about it on our poster below ⬇️

Wishing a ‘GREAT’ Christmas to residents from Glasshoughton, Redhill and beyond. If you want to see what we’re about we next meet on February 2nd from 6.30pm at The Houghton Public House.

Our #GREAT Christmas 🎄🎅 Party is back. All details below ⬇️

Castleford Civic Society are on the hunt for the #NationalUnionofMineworkers Glasshoughton Pit Banner. We hope it can be found. It’s pictured below and if anyone knows it’s whereabouts we can let the relevant people know. Thank you.

Also it’s shocking that a leak reported to @YorkshireWater in early August is still leaking! 2/2

We were out today helping our local Cllrs on Churchfield Lane. We have campaigned with Chris Barker for traffic calming measures for years. We also ask regularly for weed control across our area and gulley clearance which our Cllrs have instigated again this week. 1/2

In one week we will have had our Fun Day. We hope you will have joined us and had fun too. All the details you need are pictured below:

Our next meeting will include our Annual General Meeting. It will be held on Monday July 7th from 6:30pm at The Houghton Public House. It would be ‘great’ to welcome new members. You will be very welcome.

Our banners are installed next to our floral displays on the Front Street roundabout as part of #CastlefordInBloom. It would be good to hear what people think of this year’s blooms. Sorry they’re not the best photographs but it’s such a busy roundabout!

@Dicky5976 @MyWakefield @KeepBritainTidy Well done 👏

One bag of #litter collected in @MyWakefield #Castleford (07:40-08:30) @KeepBritainTidy

@cleanupbritain @NationalHways @campbellclaret The same near junction 32 on the M62 on slip roads especially as well.

This rubbish tip - on the M65 motorway near Burnley - is brought to you by ⁦⁦@NationalHways⁩ a failing quango. ⁦@campbellclaret⁩

Do you have a dance troupe, majorettes, marching band and would be available to perform at our family fun day Sunday August 3rd 2025, 1pm, Redhill playing fields, Glasshoughton? We have a DJ with sound system to use too. We would love to hear from you if you can perform for us.

@MayorOfWY We are struggling to see the pace with your work. We have a terrible service in our area from @arrivayorkshire. The service has been much reduced but we still have more cancellations. Are the companies being given contracts unionised too?

We're working at pace to bring buses back under public control in West Yorkshire. But we’re also committed to keeping our region connected in the here and now. We've started off the year by stepping in and working with Yorkshire Buses to save a vital service: westyorks-ca.gov.uk/all-news-and-b…

@JohnScarr5 @WakefieldMayor Thank you. We had a full house of happy families all afternoon.

@GreatResidents @WakefieldMayor Glad it all went well.

Well our GREAT Xmas 🎄 Party was epic. There are 2 unclaimed raffle tickets - green/white 217 boxed wine & green/white 454 hot chocolate set. Thanks to the @WakefieldMayor for attending and to his Consort for wearing the Mayoral Chains from the former Castleford Borough too.

@WakefieldMayor Thank you both of you for coming to our Christmas 🎄 party. We really appreciated your visit.

A full day yesterday around the District - Horbury Music Centre Christmas Concert in the morning, GREAT Christmas Party, Castleford and Light up a Life Service at Pontefract Hospice in the afternoon and the annual Charity Christmas Concert at Wakefield Cathedral in the evening.

@RD_Gov We will enjoy listening to the recording hearing how Mick has worked with your platform and our group’s event.

👏 Thank you to the 350 @RD_Gov users who join today's lunch and Learn. . 📹 Recording is now available on ResilienceDirect.
