A MAJOR revamp is on the cards for Todmorden after councillors finally agreed to pull down the town’s Rose Street health centre.
The old health centre was originally due to be pulled down to make way for a new enterprise hub, backed by the regional development agency.
But the proposals were thrown into jeopardy when the Government announced the agencies were being scrapped.
Since then the health centre has become a target for vandals.
Now the site is set to be cleared by the end of December and it will be landscaped until further ideas for Bramsche Square’s redevelopment can be brought forward.
Coun Barry Collins, economy cabinet member, said: “It is sad that a building like this must come down, but there is little alternative.”
