RE-GENERATION OF SHAW'S SITE IN DIGGLE  
  The re-generation of Shaw's pallet factory, on the Huddersfield Road, will have a profound impact on Diggle Community for many years to come. The DCA Executive, and members, have discussed the priorities, for the re-generation of Shaws, and wish to be pro-active and positive with the future owner and developer, so that, in a positive manner, we can influence what is built.  
  Priority 1 - Vital  
 
  • Station/Community Hall (also indoor sports centre)/Visitor Centre - if these are combined, there is a better chance of getting this through.
  • New buildings to be in Stone/Slate - in keeping with the surrounding buildings and area.
  • Sports facilities (Field/Hall) - this includes a football pitch.
  • Medical and Care Facilities.
 
  Priority 2 - Very Important  
 
  • Recreation Park (for children)
  • Tree Screening (to improve the overall site)
  • Affordable Housing (for local people)
 
  Consequential (these matters must be considered, whatever happens to the site)  
 
  • Access Road to the site - new road system at the Uppermill end of Huddersfield Road.
  • Size of Diggle School - both the nursery and primary schools.
