Architects compete to design a new pedestrian bridge over Castleford’s river, which could improve residents’ quality of life and become an attraction, there are plans to rejuvenate three run-down green spaces in some of the hardest-hit neighbourhoods, and traffic-calming in the town’s residential heart with a controversial underpass.
