Across the District, over 880 individuals had completed WorldHost qualifications to date. This included staff at the Science and Media Museum, the Visitor Centres, Cliff Castle, Broadway Centre Management Team, Street scene and Waste Management teams and North Parade.
Following Bradford City Centre the expected timescales for achieving WorldHost Destination Status in other areas of the District were: Keighley Town Centre – Autumn 2017. A large amount of work had already taken place in Keighley with Cliffe Castle currently applying for Destination Status. Further work needed to be undertaken to target destinations such as Worth Valley Railway and East Riddlesden Hall. Shipley and Saltaire – Spring 2018. Bradford District – Summer 2018
A question and answer session ensued:
Resolved –
That the continued success of Get Bradford Working be welcomed and officers be congratulated on securing of £9.8 million funding to deliver employability provision in the District, and that a progress report be presented to this Committee in 12 months time.
