Haworth, Cross Roads & Stanbury Parish Council has made a request to Bradford Council to become a ‘Neighbourhood Area’. This would mean the Parish Council – and the parish residents - would have a bigger say on future building and administration of facilities. To make this happen the Parish Council needs to produce a Neighbourhood Development Plan or Order. These documents can be viewed as there is a Consultation until Monday, September 16, and Parish residents can view these documents and make comments. These can all be found at Keighley Library and the Worth Valley Community Contact Point at Changegate, Haworth. Visit www.bradford.gov.uk/bmdc/Consultations then choose ‘Haworth, Cross Roads & Stanbury Parish Council Neighbourhood Area Application’.
