More than £30m is on its way and we’re getting to work now to make sure that Elland, West Vale and the surrounding area are places where people feel safe, happy, and welcome, where they want to spend time, and where businesses can flourish.
This impressive portfolio of projects is being designed to make life in Elland better so that everyone can live a larger life. There will be new ways to travel around, transformed spaces, and natural features. Our vision for Elland will support people to live healthier more active lives and attract people to live, work and invest in the area, whilst also responding to some of the challenges of climate change.
We know that you will be as interested and invested in the vision for Elland as we are, and we are listening. Please join us, share the vision, take part in project consultations, and keep up to date with progress as we work together to make Elland a better place for everyone.
