A CRACKDOWN on law-flouting motorists is targeting Keighley. Operation Steerside, which has run successfully across the district since 2016, is being stepped-up in the town. Cash from Keighley Town Council and money seized from criminals through the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) is being used to fund the new campaign. Dangerous and irresponsible drivers will face the full force of the West Yorkshire Police initiative. Since Operation Steerside first hit the road, 13,000 motorists have been dealt with and more than 1,000 vehicles seized. Last year, the town council stumped-up £6,000 for a Keighley-focused blitz, which alone netted over 300 offenders. This time, councillors have agreed to provide £10,000, matching funds from POCA.

AMBITIOUS plans have been revealed to demolish Braithwaite’s ageing community centre and replace it with a new building. Volunteers at the Keith Thompson Centre hope to find cash to construct a new century building on exactly the same footprint as the existing complex. A new layout for the single-storey centre would allow more activities to be held at the same time, while extending the hours of its hugely-popular community cafe. A planning application submitted by Braithwaite People’s Association (BPA) – whose volunteers have run the centre since 1996 – has already received support from local politicians and churches.

BUSINESS AND trade union leaders from across the region are today issuing a rare joint statement in support of the One Yorkshire devolution deal. The Institute of Directors, CBI and TUC hope a Yorkshire Day show of unity will end the impasse over the region’s future. It comes as Dr John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York, hosts political, business and civic leaders to launch of the next phase of the devolution campaign. And it is boosted by the joint message that the IoD’s regional chairman, Jon Geldart, the CBI’s regional director, Beckie Hart, and the TUC’s regional secretary, Bill Adams, have sent to The Yorkshire Post.
