Heckmondwike Bus Station
In partnership with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, we are transforming the current bus hub into a fully accessible bus station, providing better transport links from the town centre.
Create a space where residents, businesses and visitors can continue to support their local community and help the economy thrive.
The scheme is funded by the Leeds City Region Transforming Cities Fund (TCF), a major programme of transport infrastructure investment. The government funded programme aims to help create a positive change in the way we travel across the region, providing an accessible, attractive, and cleaner alternative to car journeys.
Plans
- Additional bus stops
- Increased cycle parking
- Changing Places facilities
- Real-time service information

- 'Green roof' with plants and solar panels

Benefits

Environment
With better transport links, cycling facilities and modern waiting areas, the accessible bus station will encourage more people to opt for sustainable travel options. This will contribute to the Net Zero and Climate Ready by 2038 which is our target to reduce harmful emissions and have a positive impact on the environment and climate change.
