Bradford West Locality

This plan aligns our District and Council plan objectives with local neighbourhoods, it incorporates the direction of travel for our District ensuring a strong, healthy and fair society, living within environmental limits, achieving strong, resilient and prosperous communities. This plan brings those communities closer together with service providers to plan and deliver better services which meet the needs of the people who use them.

The localities plan incorporates broad strategic aims in order to deliver tangible actions in neighbourhoods and communities, incorporating Bradford's sustainability goals, the JSNA and the cultural strategy working hard towards targeting the inequalities that our communities may experience. During the listening and engagement phase of this plan, participants were overwhelmingly clear that we celebrate and grow the existing strengths, skills and positivity to build further achievements through a prevention and early intervention ethos.

Bradford West covers a diverse area from Bradford city centre to beyond Thornton and to the Calderdale boundary. We take in urban, suburban and rural, residential and industrial areas. It includes well known locations such as the National Media Museum, Valley Parade, Bradford Royal Infirmary, St Luke's Hospital, Chellow Dene, Heaton Woods, Listers Mill, Bradford University and College, Lister Park and Museum and Heaton Woods. Our mix of communities includes single pensioner households, large families with young children, and people from many different religious and cultural backgrounds.

Bradford West incorporates the City centre which is overflowing with investment, growth and restructuring, this undoubtedly has a positive impact on the neighbourhoods in Bradford West leading to increased local jobs, opportunity and investment. Parks and open spaces have been revitalised through direct Council investment, encouraging healthy lifestyles, ensuring a better mix of play spaces provision close homes, as well as destination facilities like the investment in Lister Park. Bradford West has seen recent investment in preventative Mental Health Hubs, transformational change in family play and physical activity through the JU:MP programme and the increased connectivity with the West Bradford Cycling Superhighway.

This means residents in Bradford West can expect to benefit from clean, green environments. The route improvement programme on the A650 Bradford Road / Keighley Road / Manningham Lane / Hamm Strasse into a high-quality green route with improvements for buses, pedestrians and cyclists, will have a direct positive impact on resident of Bradford West. The introduction of the Clean air zone will result in improved health outcomes for residents. In 2021-22 the VCS sector has an uplift of over £270,000 through the Council's ARG fund, investing in sustainability, entrepreneurialism and future proofing much needed community buildings.

Definition of terms

There are 3 important levels at which decisions are made across Bradford: District, Locality and Ward. Sub-ward level neighbourhoods exist through a more informal arrangement.

Locality

The physical geographies in which locality working is delivered; primarily the 5 constituencies of Keighley, Shipley, Bradford West, Bradford East and Bradford South. Also known as an 'Area'.

Ward

An administrative division of a locality that elects and is represented by 3 ward councillors. There are 6 wards per locality and 30 wards in total.

Neighbourhood

At sub-ward level, residents may identify with a particular neighbourhood, for example Braithwaite. This is a more informal local structure.

Prevention

Preventing or delaying problems from arising in the first place so that everyone across the Bradford District - whatever locality they come from - can live a long, healthy, and full life.

Early help

Tackling problems head-on as soon as they emerge, intervening early before problems escalate.

  • The response and support by individuals, communities and local partners across the West constituency during the Pandemic has been phenomenal.
  • The residents of Bradford West, and all the Neighbourhoods and Villages that make up the constituency, have truly demonstrated that People Can make a difference, highlighting key strengths and further potential.
  • This plan seeks to harness this positive energy over the next three years (and beyond) as we adapt to living with Covid-19 and build a better future.
  • We want the Locality Plan to be ambitious and forward thinking. Our vision is to a build active, engaged and sustainable communities where local voices are heard and citizens are empowered to work alongside public agencies and partners to address the needs and issues of the locality. We will concentrate on our strengths and assets to enhance community capacity and tackle inequalities.
  • It is important that we focus on a social model of prevention as well as intervening early when problems do emerge so that everyone can live a long, healthy, and full life.
