In partnership with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, we're upgrading the Heckmondwike Bus Hub into a full bus station.

As well as making journeys nicer for passengers, making travel by public transport a more viable option should help us reduce traffic congestion for everyone - thereby improving air quality and journey times - and will help us meet our target of reducing Kirklees' carbon emissions to zero by 2038.

More comfortable facilities

We're building accessible indoor facilities, so passengers can wait in comfort with access to real-time travel information.

There will be new accessible toilets, including a Changing Places facility.

More buses

We're also increasing the number of bus stands from four to six, to increase capacity.

Improving safety

Outside the station we're reducing car parking for safety, but creating more cycle parking.

Improving the surrounding area

We're improving public areas and adding more seating, an entrance canopy and greenery.
