A plan to “devolve” control of several council services to local level has been welcomed by Shipley Area Committee.
Members agreed to the principle of taking on responsibility for budgets and priorities in several key areas.
These include the youth service, parks and recreation spaces, street cleansing, public toilets, council wardens, highway repairs, and road-casualty reduction.
The committee is made up of Bradford councillors from areas including Cullingworth, Denholme, Harden, Wilsden and Crossflatts.
