A restored Victorian shopping arcade in a struggling Yorkshire town centre will only welcome independent traders willing to work together to ensure its revival.
Dewsbury Arcade, which closed in 2016, has been derelict for eight years, but Kirklees Council stepped in to buy the 19th-century building and a Community Benefit Society has now formed to raise funds to bring it back to life.
We want to create a cycle of optimism, and bring businesses together. 'Landlords weren’t putting money into the Arcade before its closure. Rents were high, the gutters were leaking. It was not a good place to be. It went downhill very quickly. 'People don’t come into town to gamble in betting shops and buy vapes. We need interesting shops and more food and drink places. There’s nowhere to eat in Dewsbury now.” So far, the signs are positive.
