The Good Neighbour award was created to recognise those residents who step forward when those around them need a helping hand and make their little part of the world a better place to live.

Sponsored by Incommunities, one of the largest housing providers in the UK, the award looks to celebrate the people who go above and beyond to do the neighbourly thing in their local community.

The finalists are: Lisa Robinson, Nutan Patel and Yasar Mohammed.

Nominated by her daughter Isobel, Lisa is described as "the pillar of Moss Carr Road and Long Lee".

In recent months, Lisa has given more than 1,000 hours as a NHS responder, volunteered for Keighley Community Hub, conducted welfare checks, created children’s book parcels, chalked the roads and paths with local children, organised VE Day celebrations for the neighbours, shopped for residents of Long Lee in lockdown and conducted doorstep drops for people shielding. This is on top of her full time job and life as a mother.

Lisa said: "I didn’t know I had been nominated until the T& A contacted me, I was shocked to learn this as what I have done is just something neighbours do for each other and I just extended this to the wider community. It’s nice that I have been recognized and met some lovely people along the way and hopefully made some long lasting friendships. Good luck to everyone."

Nutan Patel was nominated by several people for her voluntary work with the homeless and those in need of extra support during times of hardship.

One said: "She has helped so many people from making telephone calls to benefit offices, regular litter picks, leading community events, supporting the local schools providing food to those families who are struggling and the list goes on. She is heavily involved in the Neighbourhood Watch Scheme as she's a real voice in her neighbourhood."

Nutan said: "I would like to thank everyone who nominated me, and I shall forever remain grateful.

"This means so much to be as I always say to people I do not need an accolades or award, I take pride in my neighbourhood as I have lived there 30 plus years. I still cannot believe I have made it to this stage, I am so excited.Winning this award will mean so much to me, and I will dedicate it to my neighbourhood."

Yasar Mohammed made the finals for going "above and beyond the call of citizenship" by cleaning up various locations in BD3 and asking locals to get involved.

Yasar set up a series of postcode-based residents groups for people to connect locally and deal with neighbourhood issues such as flytipping or making their gardens greener.

He said: "My work has engaged with people from all walks of life across Bradford and I always hope to do my best to break down community barriers by helping people from all backgrounds regardless of age, colour, race and religious beliefs with the ultimate goal of improving quality of life for the people of Bradford.

"If my work can inspire and motivate others to take ownership and responsibility to strengthen our community bonds and make our neighbourhoods thriving places to live by tackling issues such as littering, fly-tipping, dangerous driving, drug abuse and anti-social behaviour then I will feel a very deep satisfaction. This is what gives me the drive.

"My heartfelt thanks go out to all the members of ‘Bradford 4 Better’ for their amazing support and encouragement throughout."
