In the Huddersf ield town centre Kirklees Council are improving two main public transport routes by introducing bus gates and lane enforcement. Their purpose is to ensure the free f low of traff ic where historically traff ic congestion has been recognised as a problem, particularly where there has been a negative impact on bus punctuality.

Route 1 - Westgate, Kirkgate and Railway Street

Route 2 - Market Street, High Street and around the Town Hall

Parts of the town centre already have restrictions in place, however these are frequently ignored by motorists and this results in high volumes of traff ic running through or circulating around the town centre.

Unt i l February 2016: Kirklees Council will be monitoring all traff ic that passes through the bus gate areas.

The Council will attempt to contact drivers who are not permitted to pass through the restricted areas to f ind

IT'S 2016, WELCOME HUDDERSFIELD BUS GATE SCHEME!alternative routes before the cameras go live. No f ines will be issued during this phase.

From February 2016: Bus gates in Huddersf ield town centre will become active and be monitored by cameras.

Any unauthorised vehicles passing through the bus gates from February 2016 will receive a penalty charge.

The charge is £60 reduced to £30 if paid within 14 days of the f ine being issued.

Operating times of the bus gates will be shown on new signs at each location.

Other signs will be provided on the approaches to the bus gates indicating a route that drivers can take to avoid the enforcement cameras.

There are a number of alternative routes to get you around the town centre without having to go through a bus gate. The map (on page 2) shows where the bus gates are and some suggested routes.

Kirklees are also improving the footways on High Street, New Street, Ramsden

Street and Peel Street, and providing additional cycle facil it ies between Corporation Street and Albion Street.

New signs and road markings will be installed to restrict traff ic using High Street in an eastbound direction between 10am and 4pm every day, in line with existing loading restrictions on New Street.

Work on New Street, Ramsden Street and Peel Street started again on 4th January.

To carry out the works safely, a road closure will be in place on High Street preventing traff ic coming down from Market Street.

A signed diversion route will be in place for delivery vehicles needing to access premises on High Street or New Street, but you may need to speak with your delivery companies so they are aware of the situation.

A new diversion route will be provided once work begins on Ramsden Street, Peel Street and Corporation Street.

WELCOMING HUDDERSFIELD BUS GATE SCHEME CONTINUED....

The Media Centre in Huddersf ield has decided to tackle the digital skil ls shortage head on, with the launch of its own Code Club for 9-11 year olds. Having now run three weeks of free sessions for youngsters from the region, the hope is that more digital businesses and schools will collaborate to provide more coding opportunities for young people.

Eighteen budding developers attended the most recent workshops during the half-term holidays, learning how to use the visual programming language Scratch and the more advanced Python programming language. Guidance was available throughout from The Media Centre?s CEO Brent Woods ? a STEM Ambassador ? and a team of software engineering experts from Elder Studios, who support the programme by volunteering their t ime to teach club members.

But with the sessions a ?sell out? to date, Brent is encouraging more schools and professionals to get behind the concept.

?In the modern employment landscape, digital l iteracy is as important as English and numeracy skills,? he explains. ?And the great thing is that there seems to be a real appetite among youngsters, to learn code.

?But if we are to inspire the next generation of digital experts, and plug the increasingly likely skil ls gap, we need to increase the momentum with which we support their development while they have no creative inhibit ions.?

THE MEDIA CENTRE TACKLES DIGITAL SKILLS SHORTAGE WITH WORKSHOPS FOR 9-11 YEAR OLDS

The UK?s rapidly growing digital industry has been widely reported on in the media, with research showing it will outperform all other sectors in terms of jobs growth by 2020. More locally, in Kirklees ? the district in which The Media Centre is based ? creative and digital is the fastest growing sector, employing more than 5,000 people and contributing £100m to the local economy.

However, in February 2015, a House of Lords Digital Skills Committee report said the UK is fail ing to address its digital skil ls shortage. Shortly afterwards, in May, Digital Skills Committee chair Baroness Morgan addressed the urgent need for more industry input into education.

Brent continues: ?Code Club is a nationwide network of extra-curricular learning, and I?m told that there are 250 Code Clubs, and counting, in Yorkshire alone. However, the majority of these are in schools, and I think we, as creative and digital professionals, have a responsibil ity to proactively address the skil ls shortage as well.

At the age of nine, a child?s instinct it to explore, experiment and try new things. We want to harness this ingenuity, to inspire more children to grow.?

Linda Broughton, Regional Coordinator for Code Club in Yorkshire adds:

It?s fantastic what The Media Centre, in the heart of Huddersdfield?s creative and digital community, is doing to create opportunities for kids, and shows that Code Clubs work in lots of dif ferent locations. Our aim is to double the number of Code Clubs in our region so I?d encourage schools, parents and digital companies to get involved and follow The Media Centre?s excellent example.?

The Media Centre plans to run another week of workshops for up to 24 young people, in February half term. However, as Brent concludes ?We want as many young learners to have access to Code Club as possible. We therefore need more schools and more businesses to link up to make it happen.

To speak to The Media Centre to support their Code Club workshops please call 01484 483000 or email info@the-media-centre.co.uk.

Peel One, a Marsden-based bar and restaurant is set for expansion af ter 21 months of cocktail -shaking and serving up excel lent steak.

Peel One f irst opened as a bar and café in April 2014, but owners Sophie Byram and Ryan Clif ford soon realised that there was a demand for evening meals in the vil lage. They tested the waters with a steak night on Tuesday evenings, which has met full tables and happy customers, week after week. They have also run tapas evenings, which have proved very successful.

Owners Sophie and Ryan are now investing their prof its into expanding the f loor space of their bar. The balcony over-looking the river is to become an indoor extension, with a glass roof and walls to create a modern eating area over the water. This cosy but contemporary extension will create the scope to provide evening meals from Tuesday through to Sunday.

Peel One?s expansion will allow for around 25 extra covers per evening, and the whole team are excited to create a new menu which will ref lect customer demand. This will also create a full-t ime position for a head chef to come on board.

Commenting on the exciting upcoming weeks, Sophie said: ??With only a few weeks to go before our new space is unveiled, we are extremely excited to create a menu which will include both steak and tapas. We will be having an open evening for our existing loyal customers to unveil some new dishes and our contemporary eating area.??

Since its conception and up until now, the steak night has been headed up in the kitchen by owner Sophie Byram. She learnt her cooking skills from her mother, Rachael Byram, who is a trained chef. While Sophie has taken charge of the kitchen, Ryan has headed up the bar team, and is a well known f igure behind the bar with locals. The young couple have put blood, sweat and tears into their venture, which is a testament to its success.

All hands are now on deck to transform their space and hire a new chef. Commenting on the expansion, Ryan added: ??As we take a new chef on board, it will really enable us to provide the vil lage with another great eating place. We?re lucky that we already have some excellent restaurants in Marsden, but we think that we can bring something a bit dif ferent to the table.??

All of this was achieved with comparatively modest levels of government investment, before the LEP received the funding secured through the £1 bill ion Growth Deal it agreed with Government in July 2014. As a result of this Growth Deal investment, the LEP and its partners are expected to create an additional 20,600 jobs and add an extra £2.1 bil l ion a year to the City Region economy by 2031, above and beyond current projected growth.

The achievements of the LEP and its partners over the past four years are detailed in its f irst impact report, published today.

Cllr Peter McBride, our cabinet member for Investment and Regeneration, said:

The successes highlighted in this report il lustrate what can be achieved by this close partnership-working between the public and private sectors.

I want us to build on this now. If we are successful with devolution, with additional decision making powers on skills and investment, we can have a massive impact, providing better value for the money we receive at a faster pace. We are ambitious and I want us to continue with the work to deliver further success across the region in the future.?

Roger Marsh OBE, Chair of the LEP said:

Our impact report demonstrates how effective partnership working between the public and private sectors is making a real dif ference to the Leeds City Region economy, people?s lives and businesses. However, for me this is not job done but job well begun.....

We have set ourselves an ambitious goal of unlocking extraordinary, sustained growth that benefits everyone who lives and works in our City Region, ult imately making the region an overall contributor to northern and national prosperity.

LEP BRINGS AN EXTRA £1.4 BILLION TO OUR REGION

Partnership working through the Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (LEP) over the past four years has added an extra £1.4 bi l l ion to the annual economic output of our region and helped create an addit ional 3,200 jobs for local people.

In Kirklees this has resulted in mill ions of pounds of investment for the area. So far, benefits include: kick-started building work on Kirklees College?s National Process Manufacturing Training Centre with over £3 mill ion Growth Deal investment.

Unlocked over £24m of private sector investment through £3.8m LEP grant investment, supporting 60 SMEs to create a total of 500 jobs in Kirklees.

Brought forward the development of the Huddersf ield University Incubation and Innovation Centre through £2.9m Growth Deal investment, giving SMEs in the advanced manufacturing sector access to state-of-the-art equipment and high-level skil ls so that they can innovate and grow

Provided access to a £1.4bn transport fund to upgrade local transport infrastructure, improve connections for commuters to Leeds and other key regional and national employment centres. Projects such as Cooper Bridge could go ahead as a result (subject to appraisal), improving transport l inks between Huddersf ield, Dewsbury, Leeds and surrounding areas. provided funding to employ two SME Growth Managers in Kirklees district, giving intensive support to help 50 Kirklees SMEs grow by March 2016.

Across the Leeds City Region, 4,300 businesses have benefitted from LEP f inance and support, and this combined activity has unlocked around £491 mill ion of private sector investment in the region. For every £1 of taxpayers? money secured by the LEP, some £10 in economic output has been generated in line with the ambitions in the LEP?s overall Strategic Economic Plan.

HUDDERSFIELD SHOPPING CENTRE OPENS NEW LUXURY BUFFET IN STYLE

A Huddersf ield-based shopping centre has welcomed its latest addit ion with an extravagant opening ceremony which drew in hundreds of visitors.

THE Chinese Buffet invited 100 guests to attend their exclusive event as the restaurant became the newest addition to the company?s portfolio.

Peter Wu, one of the owners of THE Chinese Buffet, said: ?It is great to see such a fantastic turnout for our opening event.

?We really appreciate the support from local businesses and the community.?

Boasting a high quality Sushi bar, Dim Sum bar and open theatre style Teppanyaki Kitchen, The Chinese Buffet will be sure to tingle taste buds.

THE Chinese Buffet is also focusing on helping out local charit ies as much as possible. Forget Me Not Children?s Hospice and Ruddi?s Retreat have been highlighted as two charit ies that it will be working closely with.

David Heathcote-Smith, centre manager of Packhorse Shopping Centre, said: ?We are incredibly excited with the opening of THE Chinese Buffet and can see it being a real favourite amongst visitors.

?The fact it will be donating 50p of every meal for the f irst two weeks to chosen charit ies just il lustrates its intentions to give back to the local community.?

ELDER STUDIOS SETS OUT TO PROVE YOUNG TALENT HOLDS KEY TO DIGITAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP

13

Can three people, in a disused research unit , kick-start a new technology company in two weeks with only £2,000? That?s the chal lenge set by Huddersf ield?s sof tware engineering special ist Elder Studios and The Media Centre, as they spearhead a two-pronged init iat ive to fuel digital entrepreneurship and tackle the skil ls shortage.

The brainchild of Elder?s joint founding director Chris Gillespie, the task will see him and two students from The University of Huddersf ield attempt to turn a complex tech concept into a reality, in only a fortnight, with the support of The Media Centre.

The aim is to inspire young talent to put their development expertise to powerful use; proving strong digital ideas can soon become a reality. The programme will also provide intense mentoring to help boost the entrepreneurialism and future employability of the students involved.

Elder Studios as experienced rapid expansion since it was founded in 2012. What began as a three-strong business ? based at

The Media Centre, Huddersf ield ? has quickly grown to a team of 21. But f inding good quality talent has continued to prove tough.

Chris explains: ?The digital skil ls shortage has been widely reported upon. But in recent t imes I?ve been increasingly worried about the extent to which this is holding the industry ? and the evolution of the wider economy ? back.

?I also teach part t ime at the University of Huddersf ield so have f irst-hand experience of how capable their students are. But, despite our industry?s labour struggles, good quality placements are few and far between. Our whole landscape is so incongruent. So I set about devising a way to bridge the gap and encourage a dif ferent way of working.?

For the next fortnight, this micro development team will be based in what is The Media Centre?s former Digital Research Unit. Equally renowned for its commitment to developing new talent, this not-for-prof it organisation has donated the workspace, furniture, high speed broadband and util it ies to enable this venture to take place.

The Media Centre?s CEO Brent Woods explains: ?I?m inspired every day by the array of talent within our business community. The Media Centre supports well-established organisations, expanding SMEs, co-working ventures, start-ups, graduate entrepreneurs and ambitious students. And it is particularly exciting when some of these individuals come together to collaborate. We thought our space would provide the perfect creative hub for Elder?s init iative.?

The success of the project ? to bring to life an open data concept for private sector companies supplying to the public sector ? will only become clear when the f inished product is taken to market. But Chris believes the real achievement lies in bringing everything together to make the two week challenge happen.

?Like many Universit ies, Huddersf ield produces some incredible graduates. But a number are either lost to large, city centre, tech powerhouses or forced into non-tech roles to pay the bil ls. We have to do something to prevent this black hole of skil ls.

?Our two week challenge wouldn?t have been possible without the support of The Media Centre though ? we?re delighted that they?ve acknowledged the potential in our idea.?

Entries have now closed and our ful l at tent ion is concentrated upon developing t imetables and support to f i t the huge response within the days, and rooms available at The Town Hal l . We rent essent ial ly the whole of the Town Hal l for 9 very ful l days, start ing at 8.00 am unt i l 10.00 pm, and yes, everyone is a ?volunteer?.

Why the challenge to f it the timetable into 9 very full days?? ? ? read on.

We provide Classes where entrants perform their particular discipline, which may be singing, playing an instrument, being part of a choir, speech or drama. In essence taking part provides an ?audition? experience to assist the performer?s development. In this instance they will not be given the part or a place in an orchestra, but gain verbal and written feedback from highly qualif ied adjudicators, and if so adjudged come home with some silverware. Smiley faces are guaranteed, and they will have benefitted from the experience.

Entries for Classes this year are up 17% which is immensely pleasing and indicates that our ?offer? is valued and appropriate to today?s performance trends. We aim to constantly achieve just that.

We also provide opportunities for Workshop attendance, and in 2016 these are:-

- Sing, Swing and Sign. Led by Thom Meredith and Paul Whittaker OBE, 900 children and teachers will more than f il l the Concert Hall, and be singing their hearts out. We know that some Glenn Miller music will be on offer, and that went so well with the children 2 years ago, but in this instance they will have been taught ?Signing? in advance by Paul Whittaker and their teachers. Some Special Needs Children will be present, and you now know the real reason why Concert Hall roof is being repaired immediately after the festival, as it will certainly be lif ted that morning!

- The Armed Man. Led by Thom Meredith, some 290 entrants will become the performance choir and give a performance of Sir Karl Jenkin?s work. It is a whole day workshop with a performance in front of an audience late afternoon, with symphony orchestra and soloists. Quite something and we are hugely excited about this.

- Special Needs Workshop. Each year we host Special Needs Schools, (200+ children), to a day of music and dance. Believe me these are wonderful children and the beneficial effect of music and dance on them is nothing short of remarkable, and very, very moving indeed. Audience is welcome, do not miss it.

In addition to this there is a strong response to The Kirklees Young Musician Competit ion of outstanding musicians of all disciplines. A remarkable afternoon awaits.

There will therefore be over 3,300 children and adults participating in the 2016 Festival which takes place between the 18th and 27th February 2016, and culminating in The Last Night Concert at which outstanding performers identif ied during the festival are invited to perform to a packed house including The Mayor and Mayoress of Kirklees.

All events during the festival are open to the public, and indeed a good audience contributes hugely to the event and enjoyment of performers. The audience is always royally entertained.

Advance audience tickets to The Armed Man performance and The Last Night Concert are now available via www.mrssunderlandfestival.com

The 2016 Mrs Sunderland Festival will be the 127th annual festival. The festival is a registered charity with the objective of ?Putting Performance of the Arts First?. The ambition of the festival since its inception has never changed, encouraging education and individual development within the performing arts for the benefit of the community. Organisers feel that its purpose remains as valid now as it was 127 years ago, and are delighted that support is visibly growing.
