Roadworks in the Village
We have been asked about the roadworks and temporary traffic lights. According to the Kirklees website, the 4-way traffic lights will be in place between 17 March and 6 April for the entranceway to a new development.
Farnley Festival will be held on Saturday 17th May 2025 in the area behind and to the side of Field just off Field Lane. There will be a number of events and activities for all the family including:
• Village Games - teams from local surrounding villages taking part in various sporting activities such as welly throwing, turnip shot put, tug of war etc, all competing for the George Sawyer Cup*. Teams would consist of 6-8 people with min 2 men, 2 ladies, 2 youngsters.
• Stalls for local businesses and organisations showcasing the best of local produce and wares.
• Food vendors offering a range of food - this would include ‘Field’.
• Live music throughout the day with local school choir, brass band, local singers etc., and in the evening 2-3 live bands culminating in a festival style event.
• Drink - the bar will be open at FT Bowling Club and Field with a wide range of drinks on offer.
• Kids' Zone - this will include inflatables and games.
Parking will be available off Farnley Road in one of the fields to minimise disruption in the village.

New WY Metro Access Bus to Morrissons
There is now a WY Metro Access Bus from Farnley Tyas to Morrisons at Waterloo every Wednesday morning. It is of particular benefit to people who are unable to use standard bus services, as the driver assists passengers from door-to-door, including boarding and alighting. The buses are fully accessible, fitted with seatbelts and the most up-to-date wheelchair restraints.
Please contact Liz Turner at lizannturner@hotmail.co.uk for more information.
Details:
Wednesday approx 10.15am, returning approx 12.15pm from Morrisons Waterloo. They pick up at your address take you to Morrisons door.
You are told a time to return (most go in cafe and wait). You will be picked up at Morrisons door and returned to your home, and thus far the driver has carried passengers' bags. You need to have a bus pass or disability pass and live in Kirklees to use the service. Wheelchair users can also use it.
