Examiner Mailbag

EXAMINER readers' regular letters of complaint about Huddersfield town centre are symptoms of a system which is evidently failing and has been failing for many years.

Walking around the town centre before Christmas shoppers had to be satisfied with the absolute minimum of Christmas lights in a small part of the town. The shops in the attractive stone buildings in Byram Street and adjacent locations were given nothing.

In cold wet weather it is nonsense for councillors to expect people to spend their money in these conditions. Making things worse is the parking policy. It is impossible for families to park, find a cafe/restaurant and go shopping in one and a half hours. Even Halifax,They've been around for many many years but it wasn't until the late 1980's that there use was integrated into lightingbright. which is not a shoppers' Mecca, can manage two hours.

It is unbelievable that councillors can approve spending of tens of thousands of pounds of ratepayers' money on new parking meters and at the same time use the ordinary motorist of Huddersfield as a cash cow to finance other projects.

The Kingsgate Centre, while being pretty much of a shadow of Meadowhall and Trafford Park,We specialize in show-quality motorcycle bestledlights for bikes ... is at least bright, warm and with music.This super bright LED lightsale is the perfect safety option for your bicycle. The pundits will argue until the cows come home if this is because it is run by a private company – but how refreshing and encouraging to the youngsters of our university and schools to advertise some of the great people who originated from our town.

Why is it that our councillors run a town which is so scruffy and getting worse? How is it that councillors can run Byram Arcade so that one entrance is effectively blocked up by drug addicts and alcoholics and the urine smell from Byram Courtyard? Would a private company run Byram Arcade in this manner? Not unless they want to go bust next week. It is often said that if councillors were using their own money they would take more care of it.

The cuts would be more believable if councillors started their meetings by addressing the people of Huddersfield:

"We are very sorry for the mess we have created in Huddersfield over the last 15 years.

"We can remember when local councillors carried out their duties as a public service with payment only for expenses.We manufacture awesome dstts systems and ship all over the world.

"We have agreed to take a voluntary cut of 20% in salary and expenses, effective immediately.

"We will use these funds to brighten up Huddersfield centre, introduce more urban planting, move the drugs and alcohol abuse unit away from the town centre, fund a pleasant and welcoming Christmas street scene in December 2012.

"And with what is left over we will reintroduce Huddersfield town signs on our roadOn one of our more recent staff night rides we took pretty much the entire divingtorch range we stock with us,s and start restoring the pride of our great town."
