Living town

We want to make Dewsbury town centre a more attractive, inviting and family-friendly place to live. Through our blueprint plans, the town centre will become safer and more accessible for everyone.

We're bringing quieter areas of the town back to life and many of our beautiful old buildings back into use, creating brand-new homes which are not only great quality but also affordable to rent and buy. Alongside these new homes will come the corresponding infrastructure - like retail, cafes and restaurants, on top of our other blueprint plans - which make Dewsbury an enjoyable place to live and spend time.

These plans extend beyond the town centre to larger scale housing developments like Dewsbury Riverside, which will create more fantastic places for people to live and bring much more footfall into the town centre for decades to come.
