MEMBERS of an anti-danger driving campaign group have asked for an 'urgent' meeting with police and council officials over concerns of danger driving, flytipping, parking and overall security in the city.

The newly formed Bradford4Better group, founded by Inayah Sher, has held protests in City Park, along Leeds Road and around Little Horton, to spread the message that they want a clamp-down on irresponsible drivers and residents.

She said: "Our group is totally dedicated to improving Bradford and tacking some of the social issues that undermine Bradford's image and behaviours that frustrate and incense residents."

Mrs Sher said Bradford4Better wants to meet with officials to discuss a number of suggestions to make the city safer. These include:

Increase the number of traffic wardens so they can patrol outside mosques on Fridays or during a funeral service to prevent road hazards and potential accidents, while upholding traffic laws and regulations.

The restriction on the use of fireworks after 7pm and penalties for those who create a social nuisance.

Extra presence of traffic wardens on Leeds Road, Duckworth Lane, Great Horton Road and any other road which is notorious for illegal parking or dangerous driving. The wardens should be equipped with cameras so they can collect evidence and penalise socially destructive behaviour.

Increase in police patrols on streets notorious for drug dealing.

A reward scheme to 'dob a flytipper'.

Support B4B with a district-wide clean-up campaign.

Penalise business owners who fail to clean daily outside their premises.

Increase council tax for unkempt, unclean streets, and check why CCTV cameras in potentially high-crime areas are not working.

The group is also looking at creating a B4B celebration day and asks for support from the police and council on this.

Mrs Sher says the group has sent a request for a meeting to the council and police and hope to sit down for discussions in the near future.
