Such an important front page with such an important message to get across - which comes after a number of road collisions in the Bradford district recently, some of which have sadly been fatal. Thank you to dr ian greenwood for speaking to me and raising awareness.

Yes, yes and yes. No agenda here, just trying to make our towns and villages better places to live.
