A new community-focused travel scheme from Bradford City AFC is aiming to change the way people get around the city.
The Greener Bantams Travel Hub, launched in Bradford by the Bradford City FC Community Foundation and the club with support from the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, aims to promote more accessible, affordable, and sustainable travel.
Lizzie Saunderson-Trowell, chief operating officer at the foundation, said: “Our vision is a city where walking, cycling and wheeling – including people in wheelchairs, and other modes of travel like scooters and skateboards – are accessible, rewarding and preferred ways to travel.
