A COUPLE of streets on a new housing development are being named after two teenagers who tragically lost their lives in car crashes. ‘Aanisah Avenue’ is in memory of Aanisah Rashid, 13, who died on January 13, 2009, when the car she was a passenger in was hit at twice the speed limit on Haworth Road, Bradford. While ‘Raees Way’ is in tribute of 14-year-old Mohammed Raees Kabir-Farid from Shipley. Raees and his father Abdul were killed in a crash with a minibus in Serik, Antalya, Turkey on December 3, 2019. The street signs will appear at a new site on the former Chellow Grange Quarry on Haworth Road. 98 affordable homes are being built there by the Home Group and Strategic Team Group.

PEOPLE have been urged to have their say over plans to reduce through-traffic in three areas of the Bradford district. An Active Travel Neighbourhood (ATN) is proposed for Barkerend, Saltaire and Frizinghall. It aims to create a safer and quieter environment for those who live, work or visit the areas by removing through-traffic from the area. ATNs are areas where a number of point closures are introduced on residential side streets to prevent non-local traffic from using these streets to cut through an area. In Barkerend, the number of child casualties caused by road traffic accidents is almost double the city average with Upper Seymour Street/Browning Street/Amberley Street/Harewood Street and Gulpin Street still being used as cut-throughs by motorists. Life expectancy for Bowling and Barkerend residents is also lower than the district average.
