A Cleaner, Safer & Greener Bradford District.
Bradford Council knows that making the district a cleaner, safer and greener environment is what matters to you the most. That is why we are investing in key areas such as Environmental Services, Street Wardens and Parks.
We are investing heavily in services and equipment to help tackle issues which you have highlighted as priorities for our communities. We are addressing issues such as graffiti, abandoned vehicles, fly-tipping, anti-social behaviour, crime reduction, rubbish collection, recycling and the provision of greener spaces.
The Council is committed to making the district a better place to live, work, play and visit.
But we can't do it alone! To really make a difference we need your help.
This webpage explains what we are doing to make our communities cleaner, safer and greener. It also provides information on how you can do your bit and get involved.
It's our district - so let's all be proud of it!
Safer
Bradford District Safer Communities Partnership is working together to create a safer district by tackling crime, drugs, alcohol and anti-social behaviour. The partnership is made up of Bradford Council, West Yorkshire Police, Fire Service and Probation Service, NHS Trusts and other agencies. Crime figures have fallen over the last three years and we are striving to continue this trend. Together we are ensuring our communities are more peaceful and secure.
’It's much better round here now that people know they could get an ASBO for anti-social behaviour.
It's good the authorities are actually doing something for us.’
Last year we:
- Reduced overall crime in the district by 17%
- Cut robberies by 42%
- Reduced residential burglary by 33%
- Achieved a 31% reduction in vehicle crime
- Had 135 Police Community Support Officers patrolling the district
- Had 18 Street Wardens
- Had 15 Video Surveillance Park Rangers patrolling the parks and woodlands
We plan to:
- Further reduce violent crime and robbery
- Tackle domestic abuse
- Reduce hate crime levels
- Reduce anti-social behaviour and vandalism
