Bridges over woodland waters

Huddersfield University students Sidhra Tariq and Alaa Yafawi will work with Kirklees Council and global engineering leader Cummins Turbo Technologies to create re-design concepts for four bridges in the park.

The two students will gain some invaluable hands-on experience working alongside the Cummins team to draw up a feasibility study and proposals, which may include a new fifth bridge.

Cummins specialists will be assessing the final designs which the students will submit next year.

Coun Peter O’Neill, Cabinet member for communities and leisure, said: “It’s excellent to see students from the university being given the chance to work on a project that could see them leaving a lasting legacy.

“There are some exciting events and activities planned to take part at Dewsbury Country Park in 2015 and we encourage the community to get involved.”
