Kirklees Council has made its ambitious revamp proposals for the centre of Huddersfield available to residents of the town, so that they can provide feedback on them.
The local authority has set up what it is calling a ‘drop-in shop’ where local people can go along and take a look at the proposed ideas. This comprehensive regeneration of the town centre is set to cost £210 million to complete and will be one phase of the broader Huddersfield Blueprint project.
It is likely to see the construction of a new art gallery, museum, library and park, providing the town with its very own cultural quarter. To achieve this, the council hopes to knock down the existing piazza in the heart of the town.
Ironically that piazza is serving as the venue for this drop-in shop, which is part of the council’s public consultation process for the scheme. Graphic design outlets in Huddersfield are often required to edit or produce colour images of proposed new developments to help sell them to the public.
The idea behind the drop-in shop was to enable people who cannot access the Plans online to take part in the consultation. A council spokesperson said that, even though these people are in the minority, it was still important to find a way of including them.
The drop-in shop is scheduled to be open until mid-July.
