Holding Power To Account

Opening Bradford To Its People

About Us

Bradford Front Door is an independent, non-political initiative created by residents for residents. Our mission is to make local government transparent, accessible, and accountable by opening up council decisions, spending, and services to public view.

We believe Bradford belongs to its people — and together, we can make sure it’s run in their best interests

This is your front door to civic action. Explore your street, test the value of council spending, read case studies, and share your ideas for a better Bradford.

What Do They Know

WhatDoTheyKnow lets you make Freedom of Information requests and read responses already published. You can search past answers, discover useful documents, and learn from what others have asked.

They Work For You

TheyWorkForYou helps you look up your MP, see how they vote, and read what they’ve said in Parliament. You can browse recent debates, search topics you care about, and sign up for email alerts—so you don’t miss the moments that matter to Bradford.

Write To Them

↓ Contact your councillors & MP ↓

WriteToThem helps you find your councillors, MP, and other representatives by postcode, then send a polite, focused message. Keep it concise: explain the issue, why it affects you or Bradford, and what you’d like them to do.

Fix My Street

↓ See what your MP does ↓

FixMyStreet lets you report problems like potholes, fly-tipping, broken lights, or damaged pavements. Pin the issue on a map, add a photo and description, and your report goes to the right authority.
