The board in charge of a £25 million plan to regenerate Shipley has been joined by four new members.
The Shipley Towns Fund Board is made up of volunteer representatives from local businesses as well as charitable and voluntary organisations, with support from Bradford Council which includes managing and delivering projects.
The newly-recruited members will use their skills and knowledge to oversee the Government-funded local projects, including the rejuvenation of Shipley Market as well as the creation of Shipley Sustainable Community Hub and the Shipley Health and Well-being Centre.
The new board members are Lead Mentor of the British Design Fund, Product Designer & Entrepreneur Adam Sutcliffe, Founder of the Strategic Disability Partnership and Shipley resident Alec Porter, Director of Kynd, Co-Chair of South Square and Facilitator at Bradford Death Café Nicola Murray, and the Managing Director of Flight & Cox Financial Solutions Ltd Scot Flight.
Bradford Council’s Portfolio Holder for Regeneration, Transport and Planning Alex Ross-Shaw said: “The Shipley Towns Fund board is successfully delivering some excellent work. These are significant regeneration projects which will shape the Shipley area and have a positive impact on the people who live here for generations to come.”
Chair of the Shipley Towns Fund Board Adam Clerkin said: “We’re already incredibly fortunate to have a very capable group of people who give up their time voluntarily to help us deliver these exciting schemes. We are delighted to welcome the new board members to the team and look forward to driving these incredible projects through to completion together.”
