Councillors were challenged to take nappies seriously during Real Nappy Week when they were given a presentation on the steps of City Hall.
Emma Hill, sustainable waste co-ordinator for Bradford Environmental Action Trust (BEAT), which co-organised the event with the Bradford Real Nappy Group, said: "Bradford Council spends in excess of £800,000 disposing of dirty nappies to our local landfill sites. Why, when modern, shaped washable nappies offer an easy, cost-saving and environment friendly alternative?"
There will be a real nappy information morning at Bradford Royal Infirmary tomorrow between 9.30am and 12 noon when representatives of Bradford Real Nappy Group will be available to answer questions. Pictured, clockwise from front left, are councillors Ann Ozolins, Martin Love, David Ford, Anne Hawkesworth and Keith Thomson with Ruth Weston and baby Stan
