Shipley town centre will be the focus of a £1m investment from the West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s (WYCA) ‘Healthy Streets’ programme.

Healthy Streets was pioneered by Transport for London and seeks to “put people and their health at the heart of discussions around the future of public streets and spaces.”

Bradford Council said it will work with local residents and partners to develop projects that will deliver Healthy Streets principles around air quality, safety, places to stop and relax, and walking, cycling and public transport.

Coun Alex Ross-Shaw, Portfolio Holder for Regeneration, Planning and Transport, said: “This investment is fantastic news for Shipley.

“Healthy Streets is about making places more enjoyable and pleasant to spend time in, boosting people’s well-being but also increasing footfall into our town and city centres.

“A lot of businesses and residents have said that we could do so much more with the outdoor market space, so we’ll be considering that as part of this project.

“Shipley’s a great town that is attracting a lot of interest at the moment and this funding should help give us a town centre we can really be proud of.”
