Kirklees Council has issued a series of Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders affecting roads across the area

Towns affected include Huddersfield, Holmfirth, Marsden, Milnsbridge and surrounding areas, with closures scheduled until the end of the year.

The works, ranging from utility maintenance to infrastructure repairs, will require both full closures and rolling restrictions, though pedestrian access will remain available in all cases.

Holmfirth and Holme Valley

Several routes in Holmfirth and nearby villages will see phased closures:

Woodlands Avenue, Thongsbridge will close from 1–5 December between properties 8 and 14. Diversions will operate via Miry Lane and Luke Lane.
Dean Road and Wickins Lane, Upperthong will shut on a rolling programme from 1–12 December, affecting approximately 118 metres of Dean Road and the full section of Wickins Lane between Back Lane and Dean Road.
Victoria Street, Town Gate and Huddersfield Road, key routes through Holmfirth town centre, will close overnight in several phases from 19 November to 13 December.
Field End Lane, Holmbridge will be closed 19–26 November between Woodhead Road and Field Lane.

Two roads in Flockton will be affected:

Barnsley Road will close 2–4 December between 20:00 and 05:00 near property No. 263.
Pinfold Lane will be shut from 17–28 November between Barnsley Road and Clough Road.

Cinder Hills Road/Sandy Gate

A closure will run from 17–21 November between Upper Bank Road and Paris/Scholes Moor Road.

Across all affected routes, pedestrian access will be maintained. Diversion routes have been assigned where possible; however, Stoney Battery Road in Crosland Moor has no available vehicular diversion.

Most orders state that closures could remain in place for up to 18 months if required, though current schedules suggest significantly shorter periods.

These temporary restrictions have been issued under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. The notices were formally published by Samantha Lawton, Service Director for Legal Governance and Commissioning at Kirklees Council, with Legal Services Contact Officer Jayne Ewing.
