Haworth will become the “library hub” for the Worth Valley in a scheme, councillors have been told.

Members at the Executive committee have accepted a report which details plans for new libraries at Haworth, Idle and Wyke.

Bradford Council’s executive referred the review of the service to the next meeting of the Regeneration and Economy Improvement Committee at its meeting today in City Hall.

Councillors praised the move at the meeting.

They approved the creation of multi-function community hubs in Haworth, Idle and Wyke, as pilot schemes. A new building would be needed in Haworth.

Meanwhile, in Idle, the plan is to relocate the library to the Thorpe Methodist Church, which is up for sale, to create a new community facility.

And a library for Wyke could be located at the Appleton Academy. The old library in Huddersfield Road could be sold.
