Assistant Coroner Raja Mahmood opened the inquest into the death of 49-year-old George Charles Thomas Dore at Bradford Coroners’ Court. Police were called to a property on Fell Lane on Thursday, April 8, where Mr Dore was found with a serious injury. He was taken to Airedale General Hospital, but died a short time later. The brief hearing, held virtually due to Covid-19 restrictions, heard Mr Dore was at his home address with his girlfriend and lodger. At around 3.40am, three people turned up at the address and an altercation took place, resulting in Mr Dore being stabbed.
The site of the planned homes BRADFORD Council has been urged to block any plans for homes in an area of Keighley until traffic issues at a notorious bridge are resolved. At a recent meeting of the Council s Regulatory and Appeals Committee members were discussing plans to build 41 new homes in the Long Lee area. Among the concerns raised by objectors and local Councillors were traffic congestion at the Coney Lane bridge, the main route between Long Lee and Keighley town centre. They argued that numerous new developments in Long Lee would add more traffic to this route, which is already regularly congested throughout the day and has been the site of numerous accidents, often involving HGVs or large vehicles.
WORK can begin to turn a listed building in the centre of Bradford into flats after a planning committee approved the proposals yesterday. Members heard that while there were some concerns over the plan to create 190 flats in the Old Building on Great Horton Road, the conversion was likely to be one of the only ways the Grade II listed structure would be brought back into use. The building, which dates back to 1832, was the original home of Bradford College until it became surplus to requirements after the educational institution moved most of its classes into the new build David Hockney Building next door.
