An opticians opened in Cross Hills four months ago has seen business boom.
The Main Street branch of Airedale Opticians was launched on a part-time basis. But demand has been so high, the practice now opens full-time.
And four new jobs have been created, doubling the team covering both the Cross Hills branch and the Towngate outlet in Keighley.
Airedale Opticians founder and owner, Mohammed Hafejee, said: “Cross Hills lacked an optician and I think some older people had not wanted or been able to travel to Keighley or Skipton,” he said.
