Extreme groups are being monitored by Bradford Council and police following a Home Office report into the summer riots.

The action is outlined in a report from Council chief executive Ian Stewart which will go to councillors next week.

It follows criticism in a study for the Home Office headed by former Nottingham Council chief executive Ted Cantle into Bradford and other areas which suffered disturbances.

The Cantle Report said the police failed to act against known individual extremists.

Mr Stewart's report to Tuesday's executive committee lists work already being carried out in Bradford and future action to tackle issues raised in both the Home Office Report and a study commissioned by the Council and headed by Lord Ouseley into Bradford's race relations.

Councillors will decide how the authority should keep a close eye on how well it is responding to the two reports.

It points out that funding is also being sought to tackle discrimination in the labour market as a response to a demand in the Home Office report. Mr Stewart says work is also taking place with a number of agencies to help people find jobs.

Council leader, Councillor Margaret Eaton, said: "We need to make sure that the good work being done in response to these reports is well documented so we can show the efforts being made to deal with the issues they raised."
