A new gym in Greengates, Bradford, could create up to eight jobs and help revive a recession-hit retail park.

John Wilkinson and Sons have applied to turn the former Priceless Shoes store on the Harrogate Road retail park into an “affordable” gym.

The now empty shoe store is next to another empty unit, Blockbuster Video, and a KFC takeaway.

The company’s application to Bradford Council says the gym would create five full-time and three part-time jobs.
