Concerns over pothole on King Street
Shoppers have raised concerns about loose brickwork which has left a nasty pothole in the town centre.
The pothole has formed outside the entrance to Boots and the Packhorse Centre on King Street. Lee Walker-Blythe, who works in the Packhorse Centre, said:”There is usually a bit of plastic that covers the area but that has disappeared overnight. We have blind customers that walk through daily and it’s a hazard.”
Kirklees Council have been informed of the hole and are looking into it...
Police rescue two children trafficked into UK
Two children thought to have been trafficked into the country have been rescued by officers in Calderdale.
