Well-attended and good to see so many local business/shop- people in Todmorden Town Hall early on a Wednesday morning. The big topic was a presentation by Calderdale Council’s tourism officer about the idea of a another/larger hotel in Todmorden. Establishing the need for this is critical to encourage interest from hotel companies. There’s about 100 bedspaces of various types (current small hotel, Band Bs, hostel and campsites etc) but without a sizeable hotel, we’re unlikely to get visitors, conferences etc on any scale. Undoubtedly there are potential sites around the town centre !
