    Keighley Community Led Local Development KEIGHLEY COMMUNITY LED LOCAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY 2017-2022 1. INTRODUCTION This Local Development Strategy (LDS) has been developed by the Keighley Community Led Local Development (CLLD) Local Action Group (LAG), and validated by businesses, residents and other stakeholders within the CLLD area. The LAG has agreed the overall vision for the CLLD area as: Keighley CLLD area, by 2022, will be an enterprising, aspirational and positive place, where: our people are personally accountable and able to develop resilience and self-esteem, increasing well-being; our businesses are innovative and productive, and supported to set up and grow; diversity is respected, understood and appreciated; there is connectivity, integration, networking, amongst businesses and residents; pathways are put into place to help us to upskill and ‘grow our own’; and encourage and support sustainable career progression; and the environment is clean, green and attractive. This strategy sets out the needs of the Keighley CLLD area and our proposed approach to investing £6m (£1.5m ESF, £1.5m ERDF, £2.1m Public resources and £0.9m private resources) to address these needs, capitalising on the strengths and opportunities in the area, whilst reducing the weaknesses and threats impacting on the economy, businesses and local population, thereby contributing to the achievement of the vision. 2. KEIGHLEY CLLD AREA The Keighley CLLD area is nine miles from Bradford City Centre and falls in the Bradford Metropolitan District Council local authority area, within Leeds City Region. Keighley is Bradford District’s largest town after the city centre. It became part of Bradford Metropolitan District in 1974.

  • Trade Directories
    Local Studies Collection Trade Directories Trade Directories From the late 18th century until the present day, directories form a valuable source of local information. The amount of information contained varies according to the date and compiler. Early directories may contain: i) A general account of the district, usually with population statistics ii) Details of local government iii) Alphabetical list of streets iv) Alphabetical list of residents, though not comprehensive v) Classified trades section Directories published after about 1880, and particularly the 'Post Office Directories', are much more detailed, and in addition to the features listed above usually include: i) Advertisements for local firms ii) Political information about the district iii) Churches and chapels, including date of opening iv) Local Societies v) Clubs, theatres, libraries, cemeteries vi) Railways and local transport services vii) Brief accounts of surrounding village A map was usually included with the directories. These have been taken out, and are filed in the map collection. After the Second World War, many firms ceased to produce local directories, due to the difficulty of keeping information up-to-date. In the post-war period, the Barrett directories began to appear, and from 1981, Thomson’s directories can be a useful source of information. However these directories are not as detailed as earlier ones. Telephone directories from 1935 supplement Barretts and Thomsons. Some specialist textile directories are also held such as ‘Bradford Exchange Co. Ltd.’ 1916-1975, ‘Skinners Wool Trade’ and ‘Worrall’s Yorkshire Textile Director’ 1910-1971. Directories are for Reference Only. Please ask the staff if you cannot see the one that you want on the shelves.

Bradford seeks to become the first City of Film in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network and join the growing network of cities from around the globe that apply to the Network to promote their local creative scene and share their interest in UNESCO’s mission. UNESCO’s Creative Cities Network is designed to promote the social, economic and cultural development of cities in both the developed and the developing world. Home to some of the earliest pioneers of cinema and the celebrated location of many classic films, Bradford can trace a proud and accomplished film heritage. Now, the city's film related stakeholders have devised a vision that draws on this history and acknowledges the vital role film plays in the social and cultural life of this ethnically diverse city.
