It was soooo good to have our volunteers back together today for a community sewing project making bunting upcycled from disused banners for West Yorkshire Combined Authority.

We can't wait to have our shop back for a month long pop-up in September so we can spend more time together again. This community really is special 💚

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

We've launched a campaign to petition Kirklees Council to include creative industries and cultural organisations in the build and business model for the food hall building within the Our Cultural Heart regeneration scheme in our town of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.

✍️ Our aim is to gather as many signatures on this petition asap.

We've had hundreds of people suggesting we petition the council over the last couple of years but we feel like now is the right time. With the council not able to find a commercial operator for the food hall they have taken the decision to run the food hall in house and spend an additional £3,000,000.00 on fitting it out.

❌This does not need to happen.

By using just a fraction of that money to partition spaces for pop-up retail units, Temporary exhibition space, short term studio hire and mid-long term rental units for more established organisations, the business model de-risks the food hall and brings in a public facing, ever changing programme of creative and cultural engagement alongside a reduced food and beverage offer

🤔 How do we know it will work?

Because the council have been doing this brilliantly already for the last 7 years through Temporary Contemporary then more recently, Creative Piazza, utilising the empty retail spaces on the Piazza shopping centre site prior to it's demolition to make way for the Cultural Heart regeneration.

We have 2 petitions....one for Kirklees residents, the other for anyone, anywhere who would like to visit this creative industries hub!

✍️ Kirklees Residents: We have set up an e-petition on the Kirklees Council website. The tech is glitchy, slow and clunky but pleeeaaasssse bear with it.

https://democracy.kirklees.gov.uk/mgEPetitionDisplay.aspx?ID=190&RPID=391371702

✍️ Non-Kirklees Residents: We've copied the same text onto change.org to demonstrate that there is also strong demand from the visitor economy.
