West Yorkshire print workshop has a temporary space in Huddersfield at the moment and often has exhibitions.

Maybe check if the sovereign design house gallery has any exhibitions on. It's in a odd Dudokish renovated foundry bathhouse on Queen street south there's a cafe with an exhibition space below. www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_R...

The New town (19thc grid below the station square) has some exceptional streetscape.

Massive redevelopment going on ATM which means the library/gallery has closed and the TBH the whole town centre feels like it's been mothballed for the duration

I'd go to the Byram arcade, Heritage Quay in the university often has interesting exhibitions.

S106 just shouldn’t exist. Symptom of broken discretionary planning system. MSA MDCs and/or Master Developers should be buying the land for new towns/extensions, zoning for growth, sorting out the master plan, building the roads/sewers etc and selling off the plots. Allocates risk so much better.

The discretionary nature of Section 106 really isn't fit for purpose. Surely a fixed development tax paid to councils would avoid proposals that are "unviable" if they have to cover costs even going to planning.

Suspect some of this is based on "look at the Reform councils hitting reality" without taking account of how much of that is about the imbalance of power between central and local government.

If they have parliament where is the constraint?

The next person who complains that "Kirklees was never part of Huddersfield" can go suck on the fact that the voters of Clifton (inc. Sir George Armytage of Kirklees) were within the 1848 Huddersfield Polling District 😜

After years in limbo since Rishi Sunak cut HS2 in 2023, NPR is finally properly defined again.

The government has committed £45bn across three phases, with backing from Northern mayors.

With the right planning and work, this should be a foundation for real action.
