Nursery World - Better Start Bradford launches environmental project

A new scheme in Bradford aims to develop safer and healthier places for children under four to play and walk, and increase access to green spaces.

Groundwork North, East and West Yorkshire has won a £518,000 contract to carry out Better Start Bradford’s Better Place project.

The Better Place project will work with the local community in the Better Start Bradford areas of Bowling and Barkerend, Bradford Moor and Little Horton to identify and carry out improvements to the local environment.

The project will also look for ways to reduce exposure to harmful traffic fumes for pregnant women and small children.

Groundwork North, East and West Yorkshire will start work on the three-year Better Place project on 1 February 2018, with the aim of providing a healthier and happier environment for babies, young children and families.
