Consideration and approval of the revenue budget for delivery of the non-construction works required to prepare for a new museum, art gallery, archives, library and outdoor events space in the Cultural Heart.
The services involved have engaged with users to develop co-created spaces, shared and owned by the residents and communities of Kirklees.
The museum and gallery work links with the ‘Bringing Out the Best’ project, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund which undertook engagement which has informed display themes and stories, facilities design, and access requirements. It also identified barriers to heritage and demonstrated the need for exciting, ambitious programmes and events that reflect all our diverse communities.

Cultural Heart development also draws on the blueprint engagement of 2019, of which this is a key element. How do you feel about Huddersfield? – How good is our place?
