Scope and Content

Minute book for the Denby Dale Urban District Council Labour Group from 1948 to 1971. The minutes record: discussions regarding the potential local government reorganisation of the West Riding; discussions concerning the building of new council houses in the Denby Dale area, especially for the purpose of slum clearances; repeated discussions over the issue of whether tenants should be allowed to buy their council houses, which some in the Group opposed as they believed it went against socialist principals; and the formation and reporting of numerous sub-committees.
