What objectors and supporters said at the ruling on the £3m Halifax regeneration plan
Major multi-million pound plans to revamp Halifax town centre have won support despite reservations from some councillors and opposition to demolition of a building from heritage groups.
Improvement works for the town centre and the A629 route which include creating a new public area called the Piece Garden opposite the Piece Hall and improving bus, cycle and pedestrian facilities, will come at the cost of losing the Hughes Corporation building to demolition and some town centre parking spaces and subways. This is what councillors, supporters and objectors said at the planning meeting as they made a decision on the proposals.
