A SCHEME is under way to spruce up an inner-city area.
The BD3 Initiative aims to make areas such as Barkerend and Bowling ‘Safer, Cleaner, Greener.’ The campaign is a joint project between Bradford Council’s Neighbourhood Service, the Neighbourhood Police Team and other partners. Enforcement action will be taken by the council, serving legal notices on households and businesses which are spoiling the neighbourhood. Meanwhile, the police will take tough action to deal with crime and anti-social behaviour in the area.
The initial stages of the scheme involved council, police and other officers door-knocking to find out about issues and offering advice. Other interventions have included a crackdown on illegal parking, speedwatch sessions, and a number of stop and searches, with increased officer presence.
