Keighley people can take driving tests in their hometown again following the reopening of the test centre. The long-established base in Devonshire Street had been closed since January for repairs to the roof.

Despite moving home, the examiners will continue to look for new premises in Keighley to carry out their eight tests each day. Senior examiner Michael Barrett says his team has long wanted a centre with easier access.
