The £10.3m Holmfirth Town Centre Access Plan (HTCAP) is designed to reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions, improve journey times, encourage active travel and make the town more accessible.

The scheme makes up part of the village's wider 'Blueprint' project, with work beginning last March.

Despite some bumps in the road namely the unexpected bursting of a water main in May - this year has seen some major strides made.

By June, several improvements had been made to the footpaths in the town centre.
