Firms are being offered cash to start regeneration schemes.

A total of £70,000 has been earmarked for projects which involve partnerships between businesses and Bradford Council's Regeneration Division.

Already nearly £40,000 has been used to help eight projects including a water management improvement scheme.

This involved creating a reed bed which will filter waste water from an animal house at Bradford City Farm.

The projects have to be non-profit making and can receive a maximum of £5,000.
