Tour de France Women come to Huddersfield in 2027
The prestigious event boosted a massive interest in cycling in Yorkshire when the men's race Grand Départ was held in Yorkshire in 2014.
The Tour returns with the first two days of the women's race partly in Yorkshire next year while the men's Scotland to Wales Grand Départ also reaches into historic Yorkshire.
The first day for the Tour de France Femmes will start in Leeds on Friday July 30, 2027, to head over the Pennines to Manchester.
The following day the race will head back along a winding and hilly route through the Derbyshire part of the Peak District from Manchester to end in Sheffield.
The third day of the women's race will be in London before the cyclists head off to France.
Before the women's races, the men's Grand Départ will also have been held be in Britain, briefly dipping into historic Yorkshire as it heads through the Trough of Bowland on its second day on Saturday July 3. Day 1 of the men's race heads from Scotland to England with a stage from Edinburgh to Carlisle. The short stretch of historic Yorkshire is on the Keswick to Liverpool stage on Day 2. The third day is in Wales with a stage from Welshpool to Cardiff.
Further areas cordoned off for Piazza scheme
The 1930s building is to be extended at its rear as part of work to turn it into a museum. The green space of the Piazza has also been dug over until a new Town Park is eventually created.
The new library building is nearing completion and is due to be opened in late summer this year.
A food hall at the former Queensgate Market, shown to the public at an open day last September, is now set to be delayed in its opening until the Spring of next year after the additional expense of fitting it out.
Kirklees Council has planned the redevelopment of the area around the former Market Hall which has seen the demolition of part of the Market building to allow a new public square to be created in front of the old library building and beside the Town Hall.
The listed part of the Market building with its unique airy roof design and sculptured panels along Queensgate is being retained as part of the new food hall, social dining area and part of the new library.
