Community Voices is a space for Bradford residents to share ideas, raise concerns, and highlight what’s working. Posts are reviewed for respect and accuracy, then published so your voice helps guide local action.
These messages come directly from Bradford residents—people speaking out about what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs fixing on their streets. It’s a live snapshot of local experience, in residents’ own words.
Want your story here? Scroll to the form at the bottom of this page and send it in. Tell us what happened, where and when, and what you’d like to see change. When your post is approved, it’ll appear on this page so neighbours can learn, add their voices, and help move things forward. Your experience matters—sharing it can spark real action.

Hi all—since early September, the streetlights outside numbers 14–22 Grove Terrace haven’t been working. It’s very dark after 7pm and several neighbours (including older residents) have said they now avoid walking to the bus stop. I reported it via the council website on 06/09 (Ref: LT-28417) but haven’t had an update.
I’m not blaming staff; I know repairs take time. But could we please get a clear timescale and a temporary measure if parts are delayed?
