In the last two weeks of June, Shipley Primary school on Otley Road needs volunteer stewards outside the school. It is to help them implement the ‘School Streets’ ban on motor vehicles at the back entrance of the school, at the beginning and end of the school day.

If you can help out, please first contact anna.watson@bradford.gov.uk.
