A £500,000 Co-op store is to be built at Riddlesden.

Planners have approved the scheme - for a disused site in Bradford Road - and work should start before Christmas.

The store will sell a huge range of products and car parking will be provided.

Around 15 full and part-time jobs are to be created.

Yorkshire Co-operatives chief executive, Peter Marks, said the new outlet would be modelled on the 100-plus other convenience stores operated by the company.

The store - which should be trading by next summer - is to be built on the site latterly occupied by a car wash.
