The land, covering about 59 acres on Western Avenue, Riddlesden, is currently open space. Riddlesden Golf Club announced in 2016 that it was to close after nearly 90 years in existence, due to declining membership. The Keighley News reported at the time that two greenkeepers and a steward would lose their posts with the closure. Secretary John Dickinson, a former club captain and president who had been a member since 1984, said it was a “very sad” time for the club and to see it close was a “massive blow to everyone”. The former golf course is owned by Bradford Council, which has announced plans to dispose of the land. The site is now used by Scouts as an activity centre and the council plans to hand it over through community asset transfer.

WORK on a £10 million programme to improve Silsden s electricity network will start this month. Northern Powergrid says the project – which will run until the end of 2024 – will involve the replacement of five kilometres of extra-high-voltage underground cables and 55km of overhead lines, dating back to the 1960s. The programme, which is scheduled to start on May 24, comprises 11 separate schemes. Also included will be the construction of a new electricity substation. Northern Powergrid says the work will help the town meet future power demands and significantly enhance the landscape, with a number of existing power lines and electricity poles due for removal.
