A COUNCIL-RUN board overseeing a four-year development plan for the district is to be disbanded amid concerns it was duplicating work.
The Bradford District Partnership board had led on delivering the Bradford District Plan, which aims to improve education, health, the economy, community safety and housing standards by 2020.
It also acted as the lead body for a host of partnerships in the district working on areas such as education, community safety and boosting the economy.
The district’s Health and Wellbeing Board will now be taking over its responsibilities.
Councillor Val Slater (pictured), of Bradford Council, said the board had been duplicating work being done by other bodies.
She said they had been “getting the same people around different tables discussing the same issues”.
