TWO unpopular high-rise blocks of flats in Parkwood Rise, Keighley, are set to be knocked down.

Housing group Incommunities has revealed that demolition was a leading option for the future Delph and Leylands House.

Incommunities said the 53-year-old blocks, two of the most striking buildings on the Keighley landscape, would be too expensive to refurbish.

The blocks have proved difficult to let in recent years, and less than half of the 190 two, three and four-bedroom flats are currently occupied.
