NEW business units, refurbished heritage attractions and a new cultural centre are among the numerous projects in Keighley that could get a share of £25 million funding. In December 2019 it was announced that Keighley would be one of dozens of towns in the UK to benefit from the Government’s Towns Fund. The programme would help regenerate towns and areas that have experienced decline in recent decades, and many getting funding are industrial towns like Keighley. A Towns Board has been set up to come up with a list of schemes the £25m could be spent on, and in the coming days a final submission for funding will be made to the Government.
