Huddersfield turning into ghost town as shops shut

I READ about someone who came to Huddersfield after many years to look around and got a £25 parking fine.

What they should have done is pay for half an hour, walked round and left.

Huddersfield is turning into a ghost town with more and more shops shutting, plus stalls going in Queensgate Market.

There will be nothing left to see in Huddersfield soon, and people will stop coming. I FEEL I must write to say what a good experience I had at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.

I had a bad fall at home and broke my femur and had a nasty head injury.

I was five hours behind the door from 3am praying for the paper lad to come.

He called going up to eight, and I could pass my key to him via the letter box, being unable to move.

What a kind lad! He rang for the ambulance and stayed till they came.

They got me to HRI and were great. I was operated on with rod and screws put in and on to Ward 21 who were all so caring, nothing a bother.

Then I was taken to Netherton for a month, also fantastic care.

The HRI is a vital place and should definitely stay open.

Moorlands at Netherton is a great rehab. What a godsend the NHS is. Thanks again to all. ONE mistake at Castle Hill, are we about to see another if the latest plans are passed?

No matter what is built up there, it is on show to so many areas.

The tower is made of solid stone. Will the proposals be the same to blend in for the Castle Hill site? Stones stolen up there, now a fire, but does this warrant 24-hour security as suggested?

No doubt the council is pushing for a building up there.

What the public wants is no different to what other sites offer, toilets with somewhere to eat and drink. But are these plans too extreme? THERE are about twelve hundred ancient Roman forts in Britain.

Three, I believe in the local vicinity, and there can’t be any one of these ancient sites under constant threat of being developed by anything let alone a hotel complex such as the one planned for Castle Hill.

All these attempts to deface this iconic site want putting away once and for all time, and leave the hill as the beacon it always was all my life and for perpetuity.
