A car dealership has commented on speculation that one of its major sites will be shutting.
The JCT600 branch on Sticker Lane in Bradford sells BMW, Audi, Lotus and Maserati vehicles.
The Telegraph & Argus was contacted by a source who claimed the dealership would close on November 30, describing it as a "sad day for Bradford" given the firm’s long-standing presence in the city.

"Our colleagues are our number one priority, and we are currently engaged in a formal consultation process with those individuals potentially impacted, and until that process has been completed, it would not be appropriate to comment on specific proposals.

BMW speaks out

The Telegraph & Argus has contacted Audi, Lotus and Maserati for a comment.
