A BENEFIT gig arranged by a Haworth resident to help save or restore local public services will take place this Saturday.

The event, organised by John Lambert, will feature five bands and will raise funds for Haworth and Worth Valley Fire Station and Haworth Village Hall and Community Hub.

The fire station is mothballed after being closed down at the end of last year as part of cost-cutting measures.

The village hall and community hub, (formerly Haworth Community Centre) in Butt Lane, faces an uncertain future after its owners, Bradford Council, revealed it formed part of a review of the council’s assets.

Both properties are subject to campaigns to re-open or retain them for the benefit of the village.

The gig takes place in the village hall and community hub, and doors open at 4.30pm. The first band will be on from 5pm.

The line-up includes Justin Sullivan and Dean White from New Model Army, Skeletal Family, Indianic, Foxes Faux and Rosa Sargent.
