Councillors have welcomed plans for a new food production plant which could create more than 45 jobs in Bradford.

Bradford Council has received a planning application from Commercial Development Projects Ltd and CK Food Processing Ltd, which specialises in making cheese for pizzas, to build on a vacant site in Ripley Street, West Bowling.

Ward councillor Sher Khan (Lab, Little Horton) said: “It is wonderful news to bring jobs to Bradford, especially in my ward."
