Our volunteers, communities and partner employers improve local green space. We’re creating a nature park in Huddersfield. Part of EPIKs.

Deputation on Road Safety at Overview Scrutiny @KirkleesCouncil. Many people feel unable to cycle/walk - put off by speeding and dangerous parking. Where are the pro-active strategies? Communities do embrace/co-design low traffic neighbourhoods? traffic calming? linked-up routes

MP makes sense shock

Proposed improvements to the A641 Huddersfield– Brighouse–Wyke have been welcomed by Cycle Kirklees.

This scheme brings lots of benefits to Brighouse. South of the M62 there is a lack of any similar “large-scale improvements to on-road cycling”

Read submission to @KirkleesCouncil objecting to inadequate provision for #activetravel in huge planned housing estate + industrial park at Chidswell. High car dependency baked into plans for 1300+ houses. Existing roads already at capacity says #HighwaysEngland @ChidswellGroup

[peaklass @peaklass1]

This Peak District lane is stunning in Autumn, with such bright colours that it sends your eyes a bit crazy to take them all in. On days like this Autumn feels like Nature’s grand finale, that last huge firework, before we all troop home and snuggle down for the night of Winter.
