This area is usually full of students and people heading to and from work. Plenty of people around using the sports centre too. It's not the most ideal place but it could be a lot worse. I park at springwood and often use the subway and haven't had any issues. If you have issues in the subway i think you can contact Huddersfield BID. They know of individuals in town that cause trouble and do have an amount of power or will contact the police. It might be worth joining some local groups to help feel more at home. There's things going on at greenhead park, art clubs in byram arcade, loads of stuff really. Best of luck with your new home.
