Hi

Wondering if anyone knows which streets or areas will be, or are already, doing Christmas lights that people can go and look at.

I remember last year I took the kids up to Sandhill Fold in Idle and it was stunning! So many houses so beautifully decorated amazing that so many neighbours joined in.

Hi. I am trying to design a pub crawl in the Leeds Bradford area of the cheapest pubs.

I already have all the sam smiths pub and im trying to avoid any whetherspoons.

Any suggestions?

Back story: car is in the repair shop at Cleckheaton. A short trip by car and fairly pleasant trip by bus back and forwards. Nice bus station, no dramas at all getting into Leeds city centre. But trying to get back from Leeds to Bradford south side!!! I don't want to sound too paranoid, but are we the invisible destination? What's going to happen in City of Culture year when no-one can travel in?

Hello, I signed up for an exchange semester in Bradford for this upcoming winter/spring and I was wondering, how safe is Bradford? I heard that West Yorkshire has pretty high criminality rates and I don't know if it is manageable or if I should just give up on the opportunity altogether.

If this only applies to some neighborhoods, which ones would you recommend me to avoid?

What do people do on a cold grim Sunday in Bradford? .. Am soo bored 🥱 it’s unreal I need affordable Sunday afternoon fun ideas please

Hi all, I'm based in Scotland but a friend has been looking for their brother for years and thinks she has traced him to Bradford. We are not sure but think he is possibly still an addict and/or homeless. Someone in Bradford thinks they have recognised him from a post and shared recent photos of him but we really cannot tell if it is him. Apparently my friends brother regularly comes into his workplace.

We would like to reach out to her brother somehow and wondering whether there are homeless outreach services we can contact who can help us do this?

They have been looking for him for 20 years so obviously this is incredibly important and sensitive and any help would be wonderful.

Does everyone know how easy it is to get mental health therapy in Bradford for free? Just just got onto the NHS Bradford website for Bradford and complete a chatbot in to get referred. The therapist can even then refer you to employment services where you can get help to find a job etc. Great service I’ve recently discovered!

Hi everyone,

I’m a master's student at the University of Bradford and currently looking for a part-time job that I can fit around my studies. If anyone has any leads, ideas, or knows of places hiring locally, I’d really appreciate your suggestions!

Thanks in advance for your help.

As per question preferably weekday. Please don't tell me Bradford is rubbish and all that...as good it can be I am all after

P.s. New to the city so I will be out on my own. Will I get strange looks?

BD4 so Bowling Park is our closest parkrun/parkwalk. Have also run at Lister Park and Roberts Park. Will work our way around the others in due course and may even venture into that Leeds to try some of theirs. Any other parkrun fans in this sub?

Ravenscliffe, Idle, Fagley,, Eccleshill... Basically, if it isn't Great/Little Horton, Wyke (where I live), Holme Wood, Thornton, or the city centre, I don't think I've actually gone to many other Bradford areas. Couldn't even tell you where most of them are.

Just... just thought I'd share that with you fine folk. 👍

Will be visiting Bradford in a few weeks, where are some recommended restaurants for a really good sit down meal?

Doesn’t necessarily have to be curry, but if it’s a standout I’ll add it to my shortlist!

Thanks in advance!

With a slight update to the sidebar which now reads:

Hi, I'm looking for any recommendations for any seamstress or dress makers in Bradford. Specifically those with skills and knowledge regarding making shalwar kameez. My boyfriend recently took me shopping and bought both stitched and unstitched outfits. I know need some to make this beautiful material in to a beautiful piece of clothing. It's completely new to me and I don't want to get it wrong ( especially as this was bought with the idea of wearing it when I meet his parents when they visit in the summer)

Hi, I'm looking for some recommendations and help! My boyfriend recently took me shopping for traditional pakistani clothing ad a gift ( prior to a meet the parents situation) we bought some stitched outfits but also some beautiful unstitched shalwar kameez material. Now I'm looking for some recommendations for a seamstress or tailor in the area to go to have this made up? Anywhere in West Yorkshire would be fine as long as they come highly recommended.

Am planning on going out with some family and my grandma,I don’t currently live in Bradford, but gran does. Would love some tea room suggestions with a nice ambience and good food ✨

What's the best way to get from Heathrow to Bradford with a family of 4?

Bradford, once majestic, now left to decay, Years of neglect, have led it astray. A city forgotten, by those in command, Left to wither, in a no man's land.

But Bradford, with its people, so diverse, Has a strength, a spirit, that cannot be coerced. Its streets and alleys, now worn with age, Can still be revived, if we turn the page.

We must embrace, the cultures of many, Working together, to build a new penny. With new energy, and fresh ideas, We can make Bradford, a city that cheers.

From Little Germany, to Manningham, From Lister Park, to Horton, we'll cram, Our hearts with hope, and our minds with dreams, To make Bradford shine, like golden beams.

So let's roll up our sleeves, and get to work, Let's not let Bradford, become a quirk, A city of ruins, and tales of the past, We'll make it new, a place that will last.

Bradford, once majestic, now in our hands, We'll breathe new life, and make it grand. A city reborn, from its ashes and dust, With our hearts full of love, and our minds full of trust.

Interested because I want to do a video piece on this ahead of the re-opening next year.

why aren’t the council incentivising more people to live in the centre so it attracts more bars, shops and restaurants? Am bewildered by the state of this city.

is anyone else sick and tired of the fireworks? we get it. someone's getting married. why do we all have to have our kids worn out and woken up for it every other night fgs? who do we even contact to report it?

What are the most popular Asian newspaper in Bradford? Are there any local ones?
