The people of Oxenhope and Haworth could have more say over what happens in their villages by the end of the year.

The villages are in the process of drawing up neighbourhood plans, which would allow locals to decide where houses and other major developments should or shouldn’t be built.

Consultations on the plans are ongoing, and will be discussed by Bradford Council’s regeneration and economy scrutiny committee in November. The committee will be given reports into the proposed plans and hear any public response to them. Consultations last until Monday and people can have their say by visiting bradford.gov.uk.
