Former council care home set to be sold at auction

A 28-bed care home in Bradford is set to be auctioned, as the council tries to balance its books.
Woodward Court in Allerton, a former short stay care home, was closed after Bradford Council deemed it to be “no longer fit for purpose”.
The building, on Kirklees Road, is one of several council-owned properties going under the hammer.
If all the properties listed were to sell for their guide price, the auction would raise £700,000.
