Keighley's oldest motor company has announced it is to invest more than £300,000 in a major redevelopment of its Dalton Lane premises.

Eighty-year-old Walter Burgess, better known as Burgess Ford, is to spend the cash to provide a new showroom, parking facilities and a reception area for the firm.

Managing director Chris Gibson said: "We had intended to move to a new site elsewhere in the area but year long negotiations proved difficult to conclude and since we are eager to improve sales and service facilities for our customers we have decided to take action now."

The project is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
