Calderdale Council is inviting trades people from plumbers to masons to meet shortlisted contractors bidding for the contract.

The event is at the Heath Training Centre, Halifax on March 7 from 10.30am.

Council leader Tim Swift said: “This is a chance for local businesses to be involved in the transformation of one of the 40 greatest public squares in the world, and to contribute to a new library and archive for the community.

“It’s an exciting time for the region – these projects are a major part of our vision to regenerate Halifax town centre by investing in a range of leisure, retail and cultural facilities.”
