Huddersfield's New Street was transformed into a vibrant “garden street” as part of Kirklees Council’s regeneration project. JMS Engineers played a crucial role by designing the steelwork and foundations for three 40ft decorative planters. These planters, each with a unique theme—Contours, Waterways, and Commerce—blend art, nature, and structural engineering. The Contours planter features a lattice structure representing Huddersfield’s topography, the Waterways planter evokes the flow of local rivers, and the Commerce planter pays homage to the town’s textile history with thread-like designs.

This innovative project not only beautifies New Street but also revitalises the town centre, enhancing its cultural and historical significance and promoting community engagement.
