The finish line is in sight for the major transformation work taking place in Bradford city centre. The majority of this monumental infrastructure project is now complete, with all the major changes to the road network layout, the new bus loop in place and the work on the new pedestrian core area of the city centre finished. Vast areas are no longer a construction site, and fences have come down, opening areas up and allowing people to begin to reclaim these spaces. Some fencing will remain to help the planting to become more established. but this will be removed early in the new year, ready for RISE the UK City of Culture launch event on 10 and 11 January 2025. Work in the Norfolk Gardens area, which is the final piece of the puzzle in the city centre’s transformation is moving at pace, with the majority of the work in this area completed. Construction partners Balfour Beatty plc will return after the festive break to complete this final section of the project. The Bradford City Centre Walking and Cycling Improvements project is being delivered through the West Yorkshire Combined Authority's Transforming Cities Fund, which is a capital grant transport fund, provided by the Department for Transport and cannot be used for other purposes, such as delivering day to day services or other projects.

The first phase of the Providence Park industrial site in Keighley town centre has been completed, and the historic site has as much special significance to the developers working on it as it does to the town. The £12million redevelopment of the former Universal Mills site, on the corner of Dalton Lane Bradford Road, began in April 2023 and has received £6.5million funding through the Government’s #KeighleyTownsFund. It has been owned by Keighley developer Peter Rock for more than 50 years, and was formerly the base of his business Modern Equipment & Foundry Engineering Ltd. The new site will stay true to those engineering roots because as well as housing industrial units, part of it will be used by Keighley College as a new Manufacturing, Engineering and Future Technologies Hub. The hub will be used to provide students with academic and practical experience, and achieve T-level qualifications. More ➡️ https://orlo.uk/Xm1lo
