The Projects
To deliver our vision across the four objectives of place, health, wellbeing & sustainability, enterprise, and inclusive growth, we have developed a series of projects.

A town that is welcoming for all
Creating a welcoming, vibrant and thriving town which encourages walking, cycling and public transport while recognising the importance of roads to residents, businesses and visitors.
Shops & events that put us on the map
Encouraging more people to come to the town centre by giving them more to do at all times of the day and night meaning they spend longer and spend more.
A canal that connects
Improving accessibility to the canalside from the town centre, making it a more attractive environment and creating community and events spaces.
A market we can be even more proud of
Supporting the traders already doing all they can to attract shoppers and encouraging more to sell by developing a new market at the heart of the town centre.
An economy that generates sustainable growth
Making sure that, as businesses recover, from Covid-19, there is tangible support for businesses across the town to keep them and help them grow sustainability.
Opportunities for everyone
Providing access to education, apprenticeships and jobs to ensure young people have a strong future in Brighouse, including by providing new opportunities for town centre living.
