Volunteers hold major clean-up at playing fields
Officers helped out in a clean-up operation in recreation grounds yesterday.
The operation, a partnership between local residents, the council and Oaks Primary School, aimed to make the large fields behind Walpole Road usable during the school holidays.
Pc Amanda Holroyd, Crosland Moor and Netherton Ward Manager, said: “The operation was incredibly successful and we have made a real difference to the communal area and the fields so that children and families are able to use it during the summer weeks.”
Four die in fatal police crash in Bradford
An investigation has been launched after four people died in a crash involving a BMW in Bradford this morning.
The crash happened at around 5.30am at Toller Lane. Sadly four people inside died of their injuries. Police have not disclosed the ages and sexes of those who have died. It’s currently understood the car was being followed by an unmarked police car, and as a result the Independent Office for Police Conduct has launched an investigation.
IOPC Regional Director Miranda Biddle: “This is a most tragic incident and our sympathies are with the family and friends of those who have died.
“West Yorkshire Police made a mandatory referral to the IOPC and at 6.24am we declared an independent investigation. Our investigators are attending post incident procedures, have travelled to the scene and have begun gathering evidence.”
What's going on
Not much happening at the moment, although things are gearing up in the town centre for the Food and Drink Festival! Reporter Ben Abbiss is heading down to scout out what’s happening.
We’ll let you know if there’s anything happening.
Keep the hard shoulder clear
That is the message from Motorway traffic police officer Dave Cant who was blocked on his way to an emergency by motorists on the M1 hard shoulder near Leeds.
A crisis negotiator had to get out of the police car and try to run through parked cars to get to the incident.
IN PHOTOS: Kirkheaton Primary School learn about recycling at Huddersfield plant
A visit by local school children has inspired a Huddersfield recycling plant to help educate the next generation about the importance of recycling.
Electrical Waste Recycling Group said the visit to their School Lane plant, by Year 6 pupils from Kirkheaton Primary School, revealed a lack of knowledge but no lack of interest.
Jane Richardson, Compliance Manager at Electrical Waste Recycling Group, said: “It was a great opportunity to show the next generation the importance of recycling electrical items in a real environment.
“Both staff and pupils were given a new awareness of not only how recycling prevents waste, but how much of an impact to the planet a lack of recycling can make.
A spokesperson for Electrical Waste Recycling Group said the next step was to make plans for future school visits and outreach work in the Huddersfield area.
