Nasty Conservative Budget Amendment

A particularly mean cut proposed by the Tories is to cut the funding to voluntary groups putting on events this year. These groups have already committed themselves to the events for which funding has been agreed. 

The events effected are;

·         Holmfirth Festival of Folk
·         Holmfirth Arts Festival
·         Shepley Spring Festival
·         Cleckheaton Folk Festival
·         Crown of Lights Music Festival, Heckmondwike
·         HOST – Huddersfield Open Studios Trail – across Kirklees
·         Marsden Jazz Festival
·         Moonraking Festival, Slaithwaite
