Kirkby Community Association

There are various community groups in Kirkby, but with no Town Council and no Kirkby-wide community organisation, it’s difficult to work together to tackle challenges big and small.

We are working to establish the Kirkby Community Association to be the community organisation that helps bring us all together, not just to fight for a better town centre, but to make sure our town is not neglected in the future.
