A West Yorkshire Combined Authority spokesperson said: “Building works are nearing completion and Heckmondwike bus station is due to open later this year.

“It will have more bus stops, indoor seating, accessible facilities, a green roof with solar panels and will enable people in Kirklees to walk, wheel or cycle to the bus station.

“Heckmondwike will be welcoming and accessible and the first bus station to feature branding for the Weaver Network.”

Construction on the £10.5m facility began last year. The building will also include a Changing Places room and communal outdoor spaces.
