The body co-ordinating efforts to retain an emergency service at Haworth Fire Station will meet with Fire and Rescue bosses.

The Worth Valley Joint Transport Committee – comprising representatives from Haworth, Cross Roads & Stanbury Parish Council, Keighley Town Council and Oxenhope Parish Council – says the meeting will take place on Tuesday, October 29.

Councillor John Huxley, chairman of the Joint Transport Committee and also of Haworth, Cross Roads and Stanbury Parish Council, said: “In our discussions with Fire and Rescue we’ve worked hard to reach a valley-wide solution.

“While we’ve undoubtedly made progress, it has not been easy.”
