Issue - meetings

To receive an update on Dewsbury Projects outlined in the Town Investment Plan.

Contact: Michelle Illingworth, Project Officer, Town Centres Regeneration.

RESOLVED- That the Dewsbury Town Deal Project update be noted.

Board received a report updating the current position of the following Dewsbury projects outlined in the Town Investment Plan.

• The Arcade
• Civic Spaces and Memorial Gardens
• Construction Skills Village
• Sustainable Transport Modes
• Dewsbury Market and Urban Realm – Former Town Park
• Daisy Hill Neighbourhood
• Building Grant Revival

During discussion, the economic benefit of the paving being replaced in the public realm was questioned. It was recognised that the public requested good areas that they could sit and use, with the use of yorkshire stone which was durable and part of the design that Board had approved. Officers were asked to present costings of all projects on one page which was easily digested to the public.
