Blackshaw Beck urban park is a large area of grassland and trees which Bradford Council, police, fire service and Incommunities are keen to see better used by local residents. In the past he park has been the subject of complaints about fly tipping, burning and nuisance bikes, but is now looking much better since clean ups began in 2018.

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust are also looking to continue work on the beck which they began last year, helping to make sure it is free flowing and that rubbish is removed.

Volunteers are invited to join staff from the council, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, police and Incommunities at the clean up - anyone interested should meet up at the Farfield Avenue entrance at 10 am this Saturday November 16, equipment provided.
