In the footage recorded in Bradford, a man is seen dousing the vehicle in petrol from a plastic jerry can when it suddenly bursts into flames, setting his trousers on fire.
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.
