Based on my assessment, Dewsbury boasts an estimated 350 shops, occupying approximately 43,000 sqft of retail space.

Meanwhile, Batley features over 300 shops, covering a total retail area of around 35,000 sqft

However, the current assortment and calibre of shops in both towns fall short of meeting the community's needs. Notably, Batley has seen significant growth in its culinary offerings, with the opening of Batley Plaza contributing to increased occupancy and dining options.

Dewsbury Market offers space for approximately 300 stalls, whereas Batley's market space has dwindled to only few stalls.

Notable landmarks in the area include Batley and Dewsbury Town Hall.

Educational facilities include Dewsbury College, which is located at Pioneer and Springfield Sixth Form

While there are a few pubs scattered between Batley and Dewsbury, Dewsbury lacks sufficient restaurants to cater to diverse tastes and preferences.

As for office accommodations, Dewsbury relies on the Empire building as its primary office space, although other available spaces may not fully meet modern business requirements.
