Cleaner Parks

Bradford Council is working hard to ensure our parks and open spaces are Cleaner, Safer and Greener.

This is what we are doing...

Cleaner

• 30 maintenance teams working all year round ensuring our parks are in top condition
• 500 Rubbish bins emptied regularly

Safer

• 15 Park Rangers patrolling all year round
• Key spaces cleared to create better visibility
• Increasing visitor numbers and hosting over 100 events annually
• Safer by Design parks, recreation grounds and play areas

Greener

• Water recycling systems in place
• Sustainable urban drainage systems in new build sites
• Peat free composting
• Over 5,000 trees planted last year
• Over 750,000 plants grown last year

We are currently investing over £3 million in improvements to our parks. Additional money is being raised by working with local communities and we are applying for funding to develop Roberts Park in Saltaire. Friends of various parks are ensuring we meet local needs.
