INSPECTION work related to Brighouse Town Deal projects will be taking place in the town over the next few weeks.

And an Open Day about the Deal’s projects will allow people to find out more next weekend.

The Brighouse Town Deal Board says ground surveys are already taking place in relation to separate A641 highway improvement plans.

Now the same survey work to inspect areas in connection with the development of projects that make up the £19 million plan to improve the town centre for the future is also beginning.

Residents, retailers, businesses, shoppers and visitors will see yellow tripods in use in different parts of the town centre throughout May.

These are taking measurements above ground – of the levels, inclines and the like – to support the design of the business cases for the improvements.

From today, for around six weeks, there will also be a more detailed utility survey taking place.

This will allow the team putting together more detailed plans to know what is below ground – from cables to pipes, telecoms to gas, says the board.

Work will begin on footpaths throughout the town centre using equipment that looks like metal detectors.
