Huddersfield Cycle Hub Axed

Bus Station Improvements Scaled Back

Instead of a hub, with lockers and secure storage, they are now just fitting cycle racks.

Huddersfield is easy reach for me, I go fairly often but never by bike as there is no secure storage and now there still won't be.

They've made some excellent improvements with segregated cycle lanes on the main route in (from Cooper Bridge) for bicycles but now it's all for nothing as there is no incentive to cycle inif I have to leave my bike on the street. Shame.

Councils wont provide any cycling infrastructure if they can help it. If they do its usually just token rubbish.

Indeed. They talk a good fight about active travel, but we all know talk is cheap.

It's a northern mill town not somewhere in Italy. Another Piazza!

@wiggydiggy - lock your bike to one of the ridiculous planters?

Still missing the one we had in Leeds outside the rail station..... opened with quite a hoo ha and closed with a whisper

@roley poley, @wiggydiggy, either of you use the one up near Boots?

But for a council that are on the verge of bankruptcy, they're "spending" a fair bit on stuff that isn't needed. The area outside the bus station has been pedestrianised for years.
They could clean up the area as it is for a lot less.

yes put my nose in ..wobbly "rails" to attach to... filled with deliveroo riders with electric motorbikes on pick up... prefer the top end of briggate with more exposure, footfall and cameras also secure concreted in rails ..i feel they missed a nice niche there
