The £19.1m Brighouse Town Deal is all about transforming our town today and creating an even better place to live, work & enjoy tomorrow.
Delivering
The Deal >>
These are the key aims of the Town Deal and underpin all the work which is about to begin across Brighouse
A more attractive, safer and cleaner town centre
so those who shop, visit and enjoy spend longer, spend more and return often
A better, warmer welcome
for those arriving on foot or bicycle, by bus or train, while retaining access for those who need to travel by car and improving signage to car parks on the edge of the town centre
A brand new market
housing the traders of today and the entrepreneurs of tomorrow
A place to come together
providing an event and community space at the heart of the town in the historic Thornton Square
A focus on the future
with investment in apprenticeships, skills and training building on the town’s manufacturing heritage

What is the Towns Fund?
In September 2019, the government invited 100 places to develop proposals for a Town Deal, as part of the £3.6 billion Towns Fund. Brighouse was one of those successful at bidding for investment.
The Towns Fund is part of the government’s plan for levelling up the UK economy. Towns will work with the Government to address growth constraints and to ensure there is a course of recovery from the impact of COVID-19. The overarching aims of the Towns Fund are to drive the sustainable economic regeneration of towns to deliver long term economic and productivity growth.
Who Are We?
The Brighouse Deal is co-ordinated by The Brighouse Town Deal Board, a group of individuals made up of representatives from the community and business with a distinct aim, to deliver the Town Deal approved by the government alongside Calderdale Council.
We work with Brighouse BID, Visit Brighouse and many other organisations across the town and beyond, but have that specific remit.
