Station to Stadium Enterprise Corridor

Huddersfield is growing, and we're making the most of this moment by investing in a key part of the town, the area from the Huddersfield train station to the Accu Stadium. We're calling this the Station to Stadium Enterprise Corridor.

This area plays an important role in Huddersfield's future. It's a mix of town centre spaces, historical buildings, businesses and transport routes, and we are working with partners to make it the best it can be.

Making the most of the opportunities available

The government has provided important funding through the Levelling Up Fund and the Towns Fund, which are major investment schemes to help similar places in the UK grow. This means we can make improvements that will benefit Huddersfield and Kirklees for years to come, including:

  • Creating better public spaces and easier ways to get about, like walking, cycling and travelling.
  • Bringing unused or underused buildings back to life.
  • Supporting businesses and encouraging new jobs.
  • Making the area more attractive for residents, visitors and investors.

This is part of a wider plan to regenerate and redevelop Huddersfield, including the Our Cultural Heart development in the centre of town, and improvements to the train station.

What's special about the corridor?

The Station to Stadium area has lots of potential. It's close to major transport links, home to key buildings and businesses, and acts as a 'gateway' to town. It includes well-known locations such as:

  • St George's Square: the area near the train station, including the George Hotel.
  • Southgate and Gasworks: where new buildings and green spaces will be built.
  • The Stadium Gateway: the stretch of road connecting the Accu Stadium and the town centre.

Making sure the corridor lasts

We're making sure the improvements reflect Huddersfield's history while preparing the town for a successful future. Projects include:

  • Restoring historic buildings and making them useful again.
  • Creating greener, more attractive streets and public areas.
  • Supporting creative industries and start-ups.
  • Making it easier to travel in and around the area.

Together, these changes will help make Huddersfield a more vibrant, welcoming place to live, work and visit.

The Masterplan

A set of twelve masterplan propositions have been formulated to deliver the vision for the area. This will result in the creation of a thriving, re-energised area and support the aspirations of Kirklees. They have been defined to enable an incremental approach to the delivery, as and when funding will allow.
