Police have stepped up patrols in Bradford parks in a summer-long initiative to protect users from crime and anti-social behaviour.

Bradford North Neighbourhood Policing Team Inspector Kash Singh linked up local councillors to set up the scheme to increase the visible presence of police to deal with the problems.

Insp Singh said it was important to keep the parks free from anti-social behaviour.

He added: "These parks are there for families to enjoy and they must not be intimidated by any form of anti-social behaviour."
