PARENT information evenings have been cancelled because of the postal strikes.

The evenings, for parents of Year 11 students, were meant to take place at Huddersfield University tomorrow and at Dewsbury Town Hall on Wednesday.

The Kirklees 14-19 Transition Team has organised the events for the past four years.

But this year the postal strikes meant mail about the events did not reach parents.

The team has cancelled the events and will instead send out an advice and guidance pack to parents.
