Heckmondwike West Yorkshire
Heckmondwike (known locally by its nickname, Hecky), and through its closeness to Cleckheaton and Liversedge, as a part of Cleckheckmondsedge, is a small town which is located geographically at the centre of West Yorkshire, England, 15 km (9 miles) southwest of Leeds. Its population has a high sense of civic pride; recent reports by the Boundary Commission have talked of a "fierce independence" in the town, which makes it hard to link to any constituency.
It is currently in the Dewsbury constituency,apart from Stubley which is in Batley & Spen, but shall be entirely within Batley & Spen at the next election. Like many of the towns in West Yorkshire, Heckmondwike was formerly a milling town, located in the Heavy Woollen District, and was famous for its blankets.
In 1811 a Blanket Hall was built for the trade of the town's primary industry, and a second hall was erected in 1839, on the road now called Blanket Hall Street in the town centre, what is left of the first Blanket Hall is due to be demolished Feb 2008.
It runs under the auspices of Kirklees Metropolitan Council. It hit the headlines in 2003 when it elected a member of the British National Party as its councillor. The councillor in question — Counc. David Exley — was elected after the then-serving councillor, Tim Crowther,(now a teacher at Heckmondwike Grammar School) left the Labour party and ran as an independent.
In 2004 Cllr Exley was re-elected with an increased majority. Then in 2006 a second BNP candidate was elected — Roger Roberts with a massive 700+ majority, Roberts a security guard had also served as Councillor for the Tory party before defecting to the BNP in 2005. In May 2007, Heckmondwike's third councillor, David Sheard (Labour), was returned with a 644 majority. The Heckmondwike electoral ward also includes the Norristhorpe area of neighbouring Liversedge.
Heckmondwike's weekly newspaper is called the Heckmondwike Herald and is available each Friday. This is the Spenborough Guardian, with a different banner, which covers the settlements of the former Spenborough Urban District.
In recent years the length of the name of the town seems to have caused problems on road signs in the local area where the town's name has been abbreviated to "Heck'wike" or even "Heckm'wike" although this in no way reflects local pronunciation of the town's name. Heckmondwike is pronounced to rhyme with 'bike', never to rhyme with 'kick'
Heckmondwike has its own telephone exchange, part of the Wakefield 01924 dialling area, with numbers beginning 40, 41 and 235. This exchange also covers neighbouring Liversedge, and small areas of Dewsbury and Gomersal.
