Denby Dale Labour Party Select Candidate: John Clarkson

Emley man John Clarkson has been selected by members of Denby Dale Labour Party as their candidate for the 2014 Kirklees elections.

In Emley John is well-known for his voluntary & charitable work. He is a trustee of CISWO, the Coal Industry Social Welfare Organisation, responsible for the management of the Emley Welfare Ground with its cricket & football facilities; and also of Emley Millennium Green.

Along with others John endeavours to look after the graveyard at Emley Church.
Recently he has played an active part in the campaign to bring better broadband to Emley & Emley Moor, along with other villages in Denby Dale/Kirkburton.

Until his retirement John was a principal officer of Kirklees Council, where he was responsible for 2 teams charged with the management of two land & property portfolios. This expertise will be invaluable in the battle to retain services and facilities in the face of draconian Government cuts.
