The transformation of the former Keighley Disabled People's Centre has been highlighted by councillors.

Keighley Area Committee heard how the renamed Temple Row Centre will serve the entire community.

Many activities will bring disabled people firmly into the mainstream and help influence local decision-making.

The group that runs the centre is being given support by area committee staff.

Activity programmes are being developed for the whole community, as well as specifically for disabled people.

The centre, which has full disabled access, will also host events such as public consultations, conferences and forums.

People with special needs will also be given support so they can become volunteers.

A lunchtime cafe is open to everyone, and the centre will be a base for Bradford Disability Sport and Leisure.

It will also become the main base for the area committee's new £32,000 "Mainstreaming Disability" project.

Mainstreaming Disability aims to change perceptions and attitudes among the wider population across Keighley.

Disabled people would gain a greater voice in local decision-making and get more involved in mainstream groups, activities and services.
