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.”
