HIGHCROFT youth centre in Wrose is not closing, a senior councillor has said.

A report on the future of youth centres, released last week, had said: "The Highcroft Youth Centre is recommended for disposal by the Shipley Area Committee."

But at yesterday's Executive meeting, Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe said: "It's not closing."

She said the plan was to retain it as a youth centre, with other facilities brought in too.
