Why tourism surge in famous Bradford district village is a double-edged sword
A tourism boom has lifted business in a famous Bradford district village, but the trend has also left local councillors grappling with the pressures created by the surge in visitor numbers. Independent businesses and attractions in Haworth have reported more visitors, higher sales and an increase in international tourists following the release of this year's Wuthering Heights film, as well as a spike in social media coverage. However, Haworth with Stanbury Village Council said the rise had also brought more litter and pressure on local infrastructure, with work under way to consider extra bins and other measures.
