A NEW centre to tackle youth crime in the district opens tomorrow.

The project aims to raise awareness among ‘at risk’ young people of the impact of crime, on themselves and others.

The initiative, based in Bradford, is being funded by Bradford Council and has been developed in conjunction with the police and partner organisations in the youth justice system.

Councillor Imran Hussain, the council’s deputy leader, said: “This demonstrates the council’s commitment to making young people of the district a priority.”
