Changes are being made to the Oastler Centre to complement the blossoming Independent Quarter on North Parade and the new Westfield Shopping Centre, due to open at the end of the year.
Bradford Council is consulting with the owners of the Kirkgate shopping centre to establish their plans for the centre and market to ensure they remain a significant retail destination.
The most immediate plans are to make changes to the Oastler Centre to complement the blossoming Independent Quarter on North Parade and the new Westfield Shopping Centre, due to open at the end of the year.
The Oastler Centre will see an expansion in food retail and in October a two-day food and drink festival will run on nearby Northgate to mark this renewed focus on food. This event will promote and support the market area. The Council will liaise with traders, including businesses on North Parade, to look at ways of linking in with their own promotional activities.
