Kirklees bid for investment funding

Multi-storey car park could change face of Huddersfield rail station
Kirklees Council has revealed ambitious plans for the redevelopment of the area around Huddersfield Railway Station, including a multi-storey car park. A council spokesperson said: “The council has submitted an expression of interest to the West Yorkshire Combined Authority for funding for a major scheme." Council papers note: “Provision of high quality rail infrastructure contributes to modal shift away from the private car which in turn reduces congestion. It also encourages investment and builds on regeneration already taking place around the station.”
