Heckmondwike (known locally by its nickname Hecky) is a small town in located in West Yorkshire, England, 13km (8 miles) south east of Bradford. Locals usually refer to it as a "town", although it is not on the List of towns in England that have received a town charter.
Often overshadowed by its neighbours Batley and Dewsbury. Like many of the towns in West Yorkshire, Heckmondwike was formerly a milling town, located in the Heavy Woollen District. It runs under the auspices of Kirklees Metropolitan Council. It hit the headlines in 2003 when it elected a member of the far-right British National Party as its councillor; leading to local protests. The councillor in question - Counc. David Exley - was elected after the then-serving councillor, Tim Crowther, left the Labour party and ran as an independent, splitting the Labour vote. In 2006 the major parties again failed to unite behind a single anti-BNP candidate thus allowing a second BNP candidate to be elected - Roger Roberts, a security guard who in his previous post on Mirfield Town council was fired after failing to attend a meeting for over six months.
The town hosts frequent local markets (Tuesdays & Saturdays) and the Farmer's Market (first Sunday of the month) in the main square.
