Broken glass lying on the footpath at Keighley Tarn could cause a nasty injury, says a local resident. Grandfather Harry Plunkett, of Shann Avenue, says a car was dumped and set ablaze at the tarn in Black Hill Lane a few weeks ago. He says the car has been removed, but there is still broken glass and wreckage lying around.

"My wife and I walk at the tarn with our grandchildren," he says. "If anybody was to fall on the glass then it could cause serious injury."

Mr Plunkett says he has contacted Bradford council several times over the last three weeks to try and get the mess cleaned up. "They just don't seem to want to know,' he added.

A spokesman for Bradford council's cleansing department pledges: "Cleansing officers are due to visit the site this week to assess the situation."
