Welcome

Cadets and staff from 96 (Dewsbury) Squadron, Air Training Corps welcomed their donation of a brand new pool table from local MP Shahid Malik last week. The Dewsbury MP won the table last year when he retained the House of Commons Pool Championship for the third year running.

Local MP Shahid Malik declared the 2nd annual ‘Dewsbury Pensioner’s Fair’ a ‘great success’ after more than 200 local people attended the event. Held at the Town Hall, and organised by Mr Malik, the event is an opportunity for local pensioners to speak to a number of different organisations such as DWP Pensions, Warm Front, NHS Direct, Kirklees Benefit Advice, West Yorkshire Police and Fire Service, Carer’s Gateway, Age Concern and many others.
