Help shape final plans for A641 improvements
Residents and businesses around the Brighouse area, as well as those living, working or travelling along the A641 from Bradford to Kirklees, are being asked to share feedback on a shortlist of plans to improve infrastructure and connections on the route.
Calderdale Council is working with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority and in collaboration with Bradford and Kirklees councils, on plans to improve the A641 – a key route through Brighouse which connects Huddersfield and Bradford.
A shortlist package of suggested measures to improve travel along the A641 to enhance accessibility and connectivity for all modes of transport has now been developed. This has been informed by the valuable public feedback received earlier this year and includes junction improvements, new cycleways and green space and other new transport measures to better connect communities. Feedback from this consultation will be used to shape the preferred final package of interventions.
The proposals are split into five areas along the route and can be viewed in detail at https://www.yourvoice.westyorks-ca.gov.uk/a641
A641 Improvement Scheme: Bradford – Brighouse – Huddersfield | Your Voice
Calderdale Council, working closely with the neighbouring authorities of Kirklees and Bradford, and with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, is developing a series of improvements to the A641 to help provide better connections for the communities along and between Huddersfield, Brighouse and Bradford.
People can have their say on proposals via the survey on this page. There’s also the opportunity to ask the team questions via the Q&A tool. Those without access to the internet can call 0113 245 7676. The closing date for feedback on the shortlisted concept proposals is Sunday 15 August 2021

Africaniwa : Kowaa Fake Virtual photo exhibition July 30th at 10pm
‘A Tribesman once said; Information is liberating. Another also; information is the currency of democracy.
Clearly, information is just powerful and in order for information to be of use, it has to be original, real, factual and unbiased but what happens in a world where it seems everyone is a news anchor, analyst and critic with their own version that can be branded as the truth and shared around the world at the click of a button yet with many others, risking their lives for the truth.

Africaniwa are proud to present this virtual photo exhibition, Kowaa Fake: Information, Disinformation and Misinformation.
Please join the Tribe, for another lived experience storytelling to explore the impact of information, disinformation and misinformation. Follow the link below for your free ticket and join us for a shared experience.

Summer Tennis for Teens 2021
Tennis is, without doubt, good for the mind and body. Playing tennis regularly has many physical and psychological health benefits associated with it. These benefits are particularly important for teens’ physical, emotional and mental development. This is an excellent course for beginners and improvers. Non-members welcome!
