Bradford City of Culture

Councillor Alex Ross-Shaw, Executive for Regeneration, Planning and Transport, said: “The Leeds Road corridor is one of the main gateways into the city and an important economic area where the vibrancy of Bradford’s South Asian population is showcased.

“The area boasts top class restaurants and cafes alongside specialist retailers catering to a UK market for jewellery, homewares, fabrics and the important Asian wedding market. “We have been working with local businesses in Leeds Road to promote it as a specific visitor destination locally, regionally and nationally.

“We're now seeking specific marketing expertise to support delivery of this work as part of the wider visitor economy and growth strategy.”

Anyone think of a suitable candidate?

Makes you proud, doesn't it?

 

Thats the biggest pile of shite i've read in a while. Leeds road is an absolute turdhole, just like the rest of inner city Bradford. Ross Shaw is complete halfwit, i wouldn't trust him to push trolleys at Morrisons.

 

There is real skill in manoeuvring a line of trollies, ARS wouldn't have a clue.

 

This is pretty much common knowledge, there was at one stage also a time where they refused to confirm the sex of a baby at the BRI due to females being unwanted.

 

Yep, sadly correct.

 

I recall the council saying the exact same thing years ago regarding killinghall road being the gateway to the city, so as a reward millions was spent sprucing up all the privately owned terraced houses between Mr Value at laisterdyke all the way to Undercliffe, sand blasting of houses, new walls, wrought iron gates and railings, new front doors etc - all courtesy of the good old taxpayer. The amount of litter and general shite blowing around or dumped in the following months (and ever since) is living proof that it is pointless putting lipstick on a pig

Bradford Council in a nutshell. Forever spaffing our money on stupid shite!

 

I'd forgotten about that... really good point. I drive that way most days for work and it's a complete shit hole again.

 

Well if walking to Valley Parade on Saturday was sign of what city of culture is about you can keep it as far away from me as possible. I know it's my home city and I'll always be a Bradfordian but jeez that city centre is a dump, especially the mile or so around City Hall. Paving old roads is sticking lipstick on a pig

 

Me & my lad came down cornwall road from manningham lane, then along lupton street. What an absolute catalogue of shit - 2 full plates of uncovered food left on the path outside one house, 2 rats scurried across from behind some sort of butchers shop (the place made me want to vomit there & then), the mosque at the end of lupton street started calling out on the loud speaker, the "kids" park contained 3 adults, litter blowing everywhere, 3 bedsheets draped over the railings of the park (assuming they'd been washed and left there to dry?) and then to top it off some tw@t in a dilapidated transit came from behind us and drove UP holywell ash lane - which everyone knows is a one way street - police stood around on midland road simply chatting about their Friday night out

The entire area is a horrid pig sty and no matter how much of our money the council throw at it, it will always be scummy because the residents are scummy and bring it down to that level. They are happy to live in squalor. Make no wonder away fans have such a negative image of Bradford after they have visited. Also it proves how utterly deluded Rupp & his defenders are if they think he can command any decent amount of money for the ground

 

Were you delivering Hovis from the basket on your push bike Dave?

 

Women today don't know how easy they have it

 

Only "hills" round us were made from rubble from the Blitz!

 

You should be working for the Bradford Tourist Information Centre
Perfect sales pitch !!!

 

Bradford and Culture in the same sentence is the biggest oxymoron ever.

 

Miscellaneous Hill down to Archwa

What about Highgate down to Archway?
