Why this petition matters

Started by Caz Goodwill

Red House, Yorkshire, (former museum), Grade II Star Listed (in the top 8% of Listed buildings) now left to rot by Kirklees Council. Kirklees local authority, so strapped for cash they are spending £250 million on a cultural centre for Huddersfield whilst ignoring this amazing heritage building. Red House has strong links to Charlotte Bronte, Luddites and the Wesleyan non conformists. Three Asset Transfers were turned down (one only failing by a single point), the Community Bid to Buy was sent to a disbanded group - therefore was ignored.
We ask Kirklees Council to re-instate the Community Bid to Buy so mishandled in 2018. Allow the people to show their support for this irreplaceable heritage gem.
