Airedale has been identified by Bradford’s 2020 vision as one of the keys to the economic regeneration of the District with the towns of Keighley, Bingley and Shipley developing a strong shared identity. Within a population of over 140,000, Airedale is the preferred location for a number of the Region’s key economic clusters with significant number of firms in electronics, digital media, engineering and financial services.

The Partnership, led by the private sector and with the full backing of Bradford Council and Yorkshire Forward, is a regeneration initiative supporting the growth and renaissance of the local economy.
