Our call to #KeepTheCAZ is in the #Bradford T&A.

"Pollution levels are falling, cleaner vehicles are replacing older polluting ones and Bradford's air is getting cleaner. These are benefits that should be protected, not put at risk."

Bradford’s Clean Air Zone is working.

Research links the CAZ to around 732 fewer GP visits every month, including a 25% reduction in respiratory visits and a 24% drop in heart-related visits.

Clean air saves lives.

Reform leader of Bradford Council, Stephen Place wants the government to revoke the ministerial direction that makes the Clean Air Zone a legal requirement for Bradford.

In other words: he wants to scrap the CAZ.

For the sake of our children's health the CAZ must be retained.

🌬 Next Thursday is Clean Air Day!

🚨We are calling on Bradford Council's new Reform-led administration to keep the Clean Air Zone and use Clean Air Day on 18 June to set out how it will further improve public health and air quality across the district.

Check out the new article on our website that looks at the news that Bradford Council's new Reform administration wants to scrap Bradford's Clean Air Zone.

The CAZ is helping to clean Bradford's air and improve people's health. Scrapping it now would be a backward step.

New plans due for the 'Bradford - Shipley Route Improvement Scheme'.

Previous plan involved widening roads which would have increased traffic and worsened air pollution.

That plan was scrapped so we are keen to see whether the new plan will be more positive for air quality.

🌬 We are backing the Clean Air Zone in the @Bradford_TandA today.

🗣 Our co-convener James Craig said “Dirty air is a health emergency, and must be treated that way by the Council and government”.

We are really pleased to hear that this road widening scheme has been ditched.

We had serious concerns about the likely increase in #AirPollution as a result - especially as the road was due to be widened right outside a Primary School.

Well done @BSTAlliance 👏

Saw this on a gate in BD5. Looks like the next generation are embracing the environmental messages .

It reminded me of that Cherokee saying: "We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors but we instead borrow it from our children"

Are you free on Wednesday, 11-4? We are moving out of Hall Ings and need your help - we will be stripping remaining bikes for parts, sorting usable from scrap. Our mechanics will be there to advise, we'll pay transport costs and feed you. You in?

📣 The #Bradford Clean Air Zone goes live today.

🌬 The CAZ will help clean up Bradford's dirty air and reduce harms from #AirPollution.

➡️ There is lots more to do but this first step will start to protect the health of our most vulnerable residents.
