CIVIC SOCIETY NEWS

KIRKLEES COUNCIL ACTION ON SHOP FRONTS
​
The good, the bad and the ugly: that sums up the appearance  of shop fronts in the centre of Huddersfield. ​

So the Civic Society applauds the council’s decision this week to allocate funding for the improvement of shop fronts in the area around St George's Square.

What are your thoughts? We welcome views on this topic on our news page, where comments may be left.

PLANNING ISSUES
HAVE YOUR SAY ON PLANNING APPLICATIONS
​
An important role of Huddersfield Civic Society is to consider planning applications. Kirklees Council consults us on major applications which cover the area.

Changes often result from our comments and efforts in preventing development which is felt to have a negative impact on the area’s heritage and environmental quality.
​
Anyone can view and comment on planning applications via the Kirklees Council Planning website.
​
​ If you see a planning application you think we should know about, please contact us in addition to telling Kirklees Council your views.
