A Huddersfield think tank has urged Kirklees Council to pause plans to demolish the town’s “flourishing” piazza shopping centre as part of a mammoth regeneration project.
Same Skies says re-purposing existing shops as exhibition space could add to the “cultural heart” of the so-called Huddersfield Blueprint.
The organisation has encouraged council bosses to “take a step back” and to “recognise their own success” as the piazza continues to attract arts groups.
