    Bradford residents are being asked to play their part in keeping the district safe as Bonfire Night approaches.

    Bradford Council says it is working in partnership with the emergency services and the district's largest social landlord, Incommunities, to solve bonfire season problems before they can get out of hand.

    They also want people to help the campaign and report dangerous bonfires which can be dealt with before they cause problems.

    Businesses, homes and schools are being advised to remove accumulations of rubbish before they can be set on fire.

    Coun Sarah Ferriby Bradford Council’s Executive Member for Healthy People and Places, said: "Bonfire celebrations do not provide people with an excuse to get rid of a load of rubbish on the cheap.

    “Council Wardens and enforcement officers will be on their guard, looking out for fly-tipping and cracking down on culprits.”

    “Fly-tipped rubbish not only looks a mess but can be highly dangerous if someone sets it on fire.”

    “We hope people will enjoy their bonfire celebrations but we urge everyone to behave responsibly.”
