THE Brighouse Deal has taken another step forward as a team has been appointed to deliver the next stage of developing the projects to be funded by the £19 million investment.

Calderdale Council and The Brighouse Town Deal Board have appointed global professional services company Turner & Townsend to develop the full businesses cases for the projects.

The aim is to create a town that is welcoming for all, with a canal that connects, shops and events that put Brighouse on the map, a market to be even more proud of, and opportunities for everyone.

Their team will now work to turn the vision, already put forward and approved by the government, into costed and designed projects that will help write the next chapter for Brighouse.

Cllr Sophie Whittaker, co-chair of The Brighouse Town Deal Board, said: “We know this is a long process, but this is a significant step forward and we can’t wait to see the plans which Turner & Townsend will put forward in the coming months."

Peter Foy, director at Turner & Townsend, said: “The Brighouse Town Investment Plan represents the kind of bold vision required to transform the area for future generations."
