Residents who claim they are being plagued by noise at night from cars tearing round store car parks have got support from MP David Ward. He has written to Matalan at Greengates, Screwfix in East Bowling and Asda’s Thornbury store after people in his Bradford East constituency raised the issue.

The Liberal Democrat MP has asked that the companies make further efforts to secure car parks after stores close.

Mr Ward said: “I am hopeful the stores will work alongside residents and me to bring an end to anti-social behaviour late.” Mr Ward wants to hear from other residents affected. Contact him on (01274) 458010.
