Better Place projectBetter Place is an exciting new project which is part of the Better
Start Bradford family, and is being delivered by Groundwork
North, East & West Yorkshire.
We will be working with families in Bowling and Barkerend, Bradford Moor and
Little Horton over the next few years to develop safer and healthier places for
children under four to play and walk, and increase access to green spaces.
Peter Murphy, Operations Director, Groundwork, said: “We’re looking forward to
getting out in the community where we will be meeting and talking to
families in the area about their needs, hopes and concerns. It’s widely
accepted that a poor environment affects health and wellbeing, and that applies
to babies and small children too. The Better Place project will show how
improving and investing in key features of the local environment can improve
children’s emotional health and fitness and set them up for life”.
Better Place will identify and oversee improvements to local parks and
outdoor spaces with the aim of providing a healthier and happier environment for
babies, young children and families. The project will also find ways to reduce
exposure to harmful traffic fumes for pregnant women and small
children. The project will be delivered in collaboration with Bradford Council,
Public Health, voluntary and community sector groups, local people and other
Better Start Bradford projects.
Details and information on the activities being undertaken by Better Place will be
publicised on the Better Start Bradford website www.betterstartbradford.org.uk &
their facebook and twitter.
To launch the project the Better
Place team need your help in
designing an image to be
used on a logo for Better Place!
Please contact
or call the Better Place team on
01274 735 300 for more details.

Mayfield Centre, so feel free to

My name is Siobhan Dowling,
I represent the Holme Top
ward along with my colleague
Balaal Hussain Khan.
I have recently been appointed as a
Community Councillor in January
2018. I look forward to working in
partnership with Councillor Balaal
Khan and the rest of the Council
members to help improve the area
along with the Ward Officers and the residents to help maintain
a cleaner and greener BD5. I have lived and worked in BD5 all
my life and would like to make a contribution towards
improving the area.
My name is Satnam Singh and
I am your newly appointed
Community Councillor for the
Woodroyd ward alongside Habib
Rehman.
Its a real honour to represent you and I
will endeavour to do my best in
representing Woodroyd and BD5.
I’m a community activist and proud
Bradfordian, I’ve worked on many community projects in the area
and will continue to do so. I aim to speak out for the local people
and look out for the vulnerable members of our community and
most importantly listen to you to improve our lifes.
Meet the New Community Councillors
Dear Readers, My name is Nasreen Khan and l am the Chair of Trident Community
Council in BD5. I wanted to let our readers know what the Community Council have been
doing since the last issue of the BD5 Magazine and future work that will be taking place.
It gives me great pleasure to introduce two new Cllr’s to the Community Council. I congratulate and welcome Cllr Satnam Singh for
Woodroyd Ward and Cllr Siobhan Dowling for Holme Top Ward. The Community
Council and myself look forward to working with them and the new ideas they
have.
If you would like to contact Community Councillors in your wards, please visitour website to find out who your Cllr is: visit http://www.bradfordtrident.co.uk/community-council/
It was an honour and a privilege to be asked to open a new business in the
BD5 area (Manchester Rd) called Fancy Cakes and Crafts. The business owner
was someone that really inspired me for what she has achieved in the eight
years of coming to the country. Her cakes looked and tasted delicious. She
caters to all dietary needs including vegans. The Community Council has been
working really hard providing food parcels to elderly residents that are finding it
difficult to make ends meet due to circumstances beyond their control. I would
like to take this opportunity to thank Inn Churches for always being there and
giving us a helping hand.
Future work will be more gulley cleaning in the Woodroyd, Marshfields, Holme
Top Ward’s & will be taking place in Feb, Mar and April. In the very near future
the Community Council will start the process of bringing Canterbury into the
Bradford Trident Community Council boundary, so keep an eye out for
Community Cllr’s and myself interacting and getting signatures for our petition
to hand to Bradford Council.
Trident Community Cllr’s will also be having surgeries in the local centres
(locations TBC) with people that may require help and advice with problems
they are facing daily. We look forward to meeting you and having a chat.
The community council will be leading on the Anti-Drug Campaign with other
organisations in BD5 too, so watch out for more information and posters.

Future Community Council meetings Schedule 2018:
We have had gullies cleaned in the
Ripley Ward in November 17 and in the
Parkside Ward in December 17.
During this gulley cleaning the majority of the
back gullies were cleaned with the assistance of
the local Community Councillors working in
partnership with Bradford Council Ward Officers
and Wardens. This went really well, we are now
arranging for gulley cleaning to take place in the
Woodroyd and Marshfield Wards.
We had a clean up in Federation Street from
where a lot of Knotweed was removed.
We are currently liaising with Bradford Council,
Bowling Allotments and Garden Society in
looking at improving the planters at the Top
Section of Manchester Road outside the shops.

Chair’s Voice
LOCAL NEWS
The Academy opened in 2007 and since then it has grown both in size and ambition. With over 1800
learners from the ages of 2 to 19, the Academy has transformed the community in which it is deeply
rooted.
The majority of our youngsters remain with us into Post-16 and 70% of students progress to higher education each year.
We are a “Good” school as recognised by OFSTED both in February 2013 and December 2017. We are rightly proud that
all aspects of our provision; Early years, Primary, Secondary and Post-16 are consistently good and have been since 2013.
You can read the full report in the OFSTED section of our website. With faith at the heart of all that we do, I am proud to
lead a team of dedicated staff who are enthusiastic about learning, and committed to our young people and their
educational and spiritual journey. We work with a range of partners to ensure that the experience of our young people is
personalised, appropriate and challenging. This year saw the Academy achieve it’s best ever results. Our Post-16 learners
achieved results in vocational subjects that put them amongst the top 10 percent of learners taking these subjects. Our
learners taking the Academic A levels also contributed to improved performance and achieved results that put them at the
national average for all schools nationally. We congratulate these learners of whom 77% have secured University places
including a number at Russell Group Universities. Similarly our GCSE learners were able to maintain and slightly improve
on last year’s performance despite the English and Maths qualifications being revised to make them more challenging. We
had an improvement in the highest grades and a number of learners gained the elusive grades 9, 8 and 7 across English
and Maths. Importantly progress of youngsters is now in line with the national average and we look forward to exceeding
this in the coming academic year.
Mrs Tehmina Hashmi, Executive Pricipal says; “Before I came into the profession I worked as a scientific researcher in the
NHS. I came to teaching 22 years ago and have never looked back. I have spent most of my teaching career in the
Bradford District with the exception of my role as Deputy Headteacher in Manchester at an outstanding comprehensive
school. I’m passionate about education and the difference it can make to life chances having myself progressed from
relatively humble beginnings. It is our mission to ensure that we secure bright and prosperous futures for all the young
people at Bradford Academy. I hope that when you visit us, you can see this for yourself”.
From Strengh to Strengh
People from across the BD5 area enjoyed an afternoon of festivities over the Christmas period. Elderly
members from the Italian Mission, Parkside Community Centre, lunch club, Truncliffe house and other local
wellbeing groups attended this year’s annual Christmas Lunch.
The room was beautifully decorated with the help of local volunteers, students from
Bradford Academy and Bradford Trident staff who prepared all the tables as well as
helping with the signing in and serving of drinks and meals to the older people. We
would like to thank all Volunteers and staff from Bradford Trident for making this
possible.

We are delighted to announce the opening of a fabulous new cake shop
‘Fancy Cakes & Crafts’ on Manchester Road, between the Post Office and
AK Accountants, just up from Lidl.
Shamsa Bakari (pictured left), who lives locally, opened her doors on Saturday the 20th of
January and is confident that this location will enable her to take her cake baking and
decorating business to the next level. There is no doubt that, following on from her Cake
Decorating Studies at Bradford College, she has fine-tuned her skills and is now producing
the most incredible range of very tasty, freshly baked cakes for all occasions, from
contemporary children’s birthday cakes to classic wedding cakes and plenty in between.
Shamsa is very quick to thank all those who have helped to support her on this journey.
Her family have given her great strength and local friends, such as Harry who entertained
the children on Open Day with his balloon sculpting skills, have also helped to build her
impressive ‘can do’ approach and to keep a smile on her face.
The support of Bradford Trident and The Trident Community Council were also mentioned.
Jonathan Smith, the Trident Enterprise Coach, says that “working with Shamsa has been a
real privilege” and now the shop is open he will be working further with her in developing
marketing materials and wider business contacts. Shamsa says, “It has been great to have
Jonathan’s support and knowing that I have someone locally who I can continue to turn to
for business advice and who can help me network and grow my business is brilliant.”

Nasreen Khan, chair of the Trident Community Council, when performing the official opening said, “I’m so pleased to see a quality
shop like this appear in such a prominent position on Manchester Road, there is no doubt the wedding industry is booming in the local
area and knowing there is someone so professional who can cater for the local market is brilliant. The fact that Shamsa is also a BD5
resident is literally ‘The Icing on the Cake’.
