| IN 1993 A meeting
of local residents was called to discuss concerns that a local piece of
land known as Magdale Fields was on the market. It was feared that the
land would be snapped up by property developers and covered with a huge
housing estate. At this meeting which was attended by many residents of Honley it became obvious that most people preferred that this land remain undeveloped and available for all the people of Honley to enjoy. Fortunately for the village the purchase price was offered by an anonymous donor as along term loan with extremely favourable terms. A committee was formed to arrange this purchase for the people of Honley. And so Honley Village Community Trust was born The Trust now has over 1,000 members. Annual membership is still £1 and life membership only £20. Membership application form |
