New Street Public Realm Improvements: Phase 1

Following the successful launch of the Huddersfield ‘Blueprint’, and the recent adoption of the Huddersfield Town Centre Design Framework (HDF) by Cabinet, we are committed to making significant improvements to our Public Realm to meet our ambition.

The initial scheme has been identified along New Street, between High Street and Cloth Hall Street. This will also dovetail into improvement to both Cloth Hall Street and Market Place.

The proposal is for Cabinet to approve a phased approach of investment in the Public Realm.
