Ilkley Town Council has confirmed it will continue with its fortnightly drop-in sessions at the Clarke Foley Community Hub while the Town Hall is closed.
Bradford Council closed Ilkley Town Hall for refurbishment and essential maintenance work in April 2025, and it will hopefully reopen at the start of 2026, these sessions at Clarke Foley have enabled residents and visitors to regularly meet with Councillors and council staff in person.
The new batch of drop-in sessions run from August to the end of October 2025, when dates for November and December sessions will then be finalised.
The dates and times are as follows:
-
Tuesday 05 August – 10:30am-11:30am
-
Tuesday 19 August – 10:30am-11:30am
-
Tuesday 02 September – 10:30am-11:30am
-
Tuesday 16 September – 10:30am-11:30am
-
Tuesday 30 September – 10:30am-11:30am
-
Tuesday 14 October – 10:30am-11:30am
-
Tuesday 28 October – 10:30am-11:30am
Ilkley’s Town Mayor, Cllr Jane Gibson says,
“Ilkley Town Council’s drop-in sessions have been going well so far; we have listened to residents’ concerns and have helped answer questions and resolve issues. I would strongly encourage anyone to come along and have a chat with us in person, as these sessions have been set up to make it easier for people to get in touch.”
