THREE new maps have been released to help people visiting Bradford city centre during the ongoing construction works.

The updated maps are designed to make it easier to know where bus stops, taxi ranks and blue badge parking is located.

The three maps were included in a weekly update on the Bradford City Centre Walking and Cycling Improvements Scheme, sent out on Friday. 

Below is an updated Bradford City Centre bus route map, provided by Metro/West Yorkshire Combined Authority, showing a high concentration of bus stops in areas such as Well Street and Westgate.

Meanwhile, project bosses have put together new maps relating to taxi ranks and blue badge parking.

A spokesperson said: "As construction progresses and the new taxi ranks and Blue Badge parking bays open up, we will add them onto the maps so that they have the most up to date information on where you can find taxis and Blue Badge parking provision in the city centre."

"After construction has finished, there will be more Blue Badge parking bays and a similar number of taxi rank spaces in the city centre than there was before construction began."

The majority of Blue Badge parking spaces in the city centre are being retained, but the spaces on Bridge Street and Norfolk Gardens are now not accessible due to the construction works. The closest spaces to these roads are on Aldermanbury.

The taxi rank which was located on Bank Street is no longer accessible. The nearest taxi ranks to this location are on Hall Ings by the junction with Well Street, outside of Bradford Interchange and on Sunbridge Road. 

Three temporary taxi ranks have also been installed at Sunbridge Road, off Drake Street at the front of the Great Victoria Hotel, and on Bridge Street opposite the hotel.
