The Bradford district has received almost £11 million in funding to stimulate the local economy to deliver jobs and growth.
Two of the most deprived areas of the district have been awarded over £5.4 million in matched EU funding via the Leeds City Region European Structural Investment Fund to support activity that addresses local needs and opportunities over the next five years.
The funding will lead to Community Led Local Development (CLLD) programmes being set up in Bradford to cover the City, Great Horton and Manningham wards and in Keighley to cover Keighley East, Keighley West and Keighley Central wards.
Community led local development is about local people getting involved to take the lead on activity that provides sustainable economic benefits.
