Below you can see a summary of some of the recent updates we have sent to subscribers of our coronavirus emails.
Health, care and support services are #StillHereToHelp
Health, care and support services in the Bradford District have launched a campaign to reassure people that they’re still here to help – albeit with some changes to their normal routines.
This is the message from doctors and care professionals who are concerned that some people, who are unwell with symptoms unrelated to coronavirus, or who are in need of other types of care and support, are unsure how to get help or are not seeking it in fear that they are over-burdening services.
Road markings tribute to Bradford district NHS workers
Our Highways team have worked with our road-marking contractors Jointline Ltd to create lovely messages of support and thanks on the roads outside the district's hospitals - Bradford Royal Infirmary, St Luke's Hospital and Airedale General Hospital.
Read about this on our website and see the photos on our Facebook page or on our Instagram account.
Business rates grants
Quickly paying Covid-19 business rates grants continues to be one of the council’s top priorities. Additional staff have been brought into our business rates team which has worked through weekends and public holidays to carefully carry out the checks required by government and transfer the funds.
To date we have paid out over £44 million in business support grants and will continue to support local businesses in every way we can.
For information and advice on support for business visit the business support pages our website.
