Environment Partnership
What is the Environment Partnership?
The Environment Partnership brings together public, private, and voluntary sector organisations that are working across the Bradford District to tackle environmental issues. The idea is that if service providers work together with the community real improvements can be made across the District.
The Environment Partnership is part of the Local Strategic Partnership which is made up of various services, organisations and communities tasked with addressing the key issues affecting the quality of life of people in the District including the economy, health and housing.
What is the Role of the Partnership?
The Partnership’s role is to identify the key environmental issues in the district and develop strategies and action plans on how best to tackle them. It identifies opportunities for joint working and provides a forum where information can be shared.
