How do you feel about Huddersfield town centre?
Everyone has their own experience of a place. How do you feel about Huddersfield town centre now, and what are your hopes for the future?
Staff from Kirklees Council and local volunteers are out and about in the town centre this summer. We’re asking visitors, residents, businesses, shoppers, students and local organisations how you feel about Huddersfield town centre.
How do you feel about Huddersfield?
What’s happening?
We’re using a tool called the Place Standard. This is a way of helping to get conversations going about any place (it could be your street, neighbourhood or town), by using some simple questions.
It’s an opportunity for you to give your overall impressions of a place, including things like how easy it is to get around, whether you feel connected to other people in the area, and whether you feel safe.
We’re working with citizens, councillors and partner organisations to have the same kind of conversation in lots of our local places – wherever people are interested in having the conversations. So it’s not just happening in Huddersfield.

We’ll publish the results online so that anyone who has an interest in Huddersfield town centre can find out what people said and make use of this to help plan for the future.
Has anyone heard of Cleckheaton? No, thought not. we don’t even have public transport to and from Huddersfield in the evenings (even if we wanted to!) North Kirklees is always at the bottom of every proposed “improvements” and Cleckheaton is the bottom of that list, too!
We need to be made a city and not overlooked by retailers.
Please remember there are other towns in Kirklees-eg Mirfield and Dewsbury. Why is no money ever spared for us?
It all looks very nice and will be wonderful for the fortunate people of Huddersfield but what about North Kirklees, where Dewsbury is like a ghost town and Batley is not the town it was ???
This survey is idiotic. It is so non-specific as to be meaningless. Sadly, Kirklees Council has a history of wasting time and money on stupid surveys such as this. Instead of moronic generalities which can be interpreted any way the reader likes, the public should be asked very specific questions on each aspect of the Council’s 10-year blueprint and strategy for each of the town centre areas.
Please end this stupidity and engage in true consultation on how the Council sees the future of our Huddersfield and is spending millions of pounds of our money.
What about Batley and Dewsbury town centres which are a disgrace
