My Community

Holme Wood and Buttershaw

Through partnership working with community groups in Holme Wood and Buttershaw, we provided funding to Sandale Centre to deliver activities and lunches to local children. We also funded a coach to take local children to Yorkshire Safari Park.

Following a health and safety assessment, the children's play park on Strensall Green was removed and replaced with all new equipment. 

In partnership with Bradford Council, we ran a large-scale community clean-up of land in Buttershaw.

Bradford West/City

We put in extra fencing and secure gates around three fly tip hot spots in Allerton. The fencing has already helped to reduce fly tipping.

We've installed anti-vandal/climb paint, a Tannoy system, and additional CCTV at the high-rise blocks on Manchester Road. The 85 homes within the blocks have now seen a lot less anti-social behaviour.

Keighley and the surrounding areas

We've put up fencing in areas around North Dean Road, Whinfield Avenue and Coronation Way. This has helped to reduce problems with anti-social behaviour, neighbour upset and fly tipping.

The community clean-up and improvements to open spaces in Parkwood Rise have improved the look of the area. The Neighbourhood Housing Officer is now working with local residents to make even more improvements.

Ravenscliffe, Thorpe Edge, Greengates and surrounding areas

Working with a newly established community group, we levelled and made safe land that was routinely fly-tipped near the Firbank Green Allotments in Fagley. The land has now been developed into a community allotment by the community groups and local schools.

We replaced boundary fencing in Swainhouse. This has helped to improve neighbourhood relationships.

Wyke, Canterbury and outside Bradford

Residents in Canterbury told us that they wanted more inviting and useable community spaces, so we've added hedging, wildflower meadows and community benches. 

We've improved parking on Backstone Way, a narrow street with houses and flats. After listening to residents, we've created new off-street parking bays by changing part of the communal garden space, helping to ease congestion, improve the area and improve neighbour relationships.

Shipley, Baildon and Crag

After hearing that hedges on Raistrick Way, Windhill were causing customers to worry about the safety of people walking to the local primary school, we cut them back and made them safe.

New signage was installed in Bingley and Windhill to tackle parking issues, dog fouling and damage to properties.
