Though Shipley in itself is generally dreadful. I was born there.

Shipley is a ******* right dump. I’m from Baildon. Some nice surrounding areas in Bradford but the city centre truly is a dump. Sheer lack of investment for years and years whilst other cities and towns have invested and improved. I live in Halifax now and it’s light years ahead of Bradford.

i live in shipley and it's great if you like charity shops, bookies and folk roaming around at 9am with cans of lager.

bradford is improving. very slowly.

i've always had a soft spot for halifax. it has a more old fashioned town centre.

Salts Mill and Saltaire not Bradford really though ... Shipley if you say to a local Saltaire and Salts Mill are Bradford they would rip your head off

Sounds like the people of Bradford are nicer than the rough lot of Saltaire and Salt Mills.

Program just started on BBC2 about Bradford. About how frontline services like the police and community nurses are working in the city and the problems they're facing.

Interesting and quite a sobering watch.

These culture city awards bring dramatic change to a city, for some reason. They somehow galvanise and it brings folk in as well as harmonise and group the population.

Good luck Bradford. May it all be wonderful.

Because culture (however you wish to define it- art, music, film, stage theatre) despite being derided in some quarters, does wonderful things for towns and cities.

Yes Swizzle and people!

As you say, wonderful things for town/cities and councils estimate anything from £7 to £20 income is generated, in the local economy, from every pound they grant to arts ventures.

Despite this, they chop those grants first thing, if savings to be made!

Also, people vote it as bottom of the pile, given the choice of expected services, like bins etc.

could have been any large town or city in the uk.

Lovely town centre Halifax, prefer it to the one in Ikley where I live. I have never got why Ilkley is hyped up so much!

Bradford Council used to put one of the best small festivals on in the country, in the Bingley festival.

Sadly they were suffering high losses by the end and had to let an outside company take over.
They only lasted one year at Myrtle Park before the rugby club tried keeping it going. They had to replace the money of being the campsite for the festival, so became the host. I think they have struggled with it though.

Hopefully they get enough money to put the main festival back on for that year.
