A NEW business park next to Keighley Cricket Club, with the aim of supporting around 30 jobs, is taking shape.
Steeton-based development company Onewood Group has erected the steel framework for all three planned units on the land at Royd Way.
Managing director Tom Wood estimates the complex at the 2,775-square-metre site will be complete by early May next year.

Cllr Hussain said the site was ideally placed next to Hard Ings Road, which is currently being widened to a dual carriageway.
