Cracking Down on Fly-Tipping: City Approves New Measures in Key Passageway

At Swann Property, we take a proactive interest in improving the communities we work in, especially when it comes to tackling environmental challenges like fly-tipping.

We’re pleased to share that the planning application submitted by Swann Property on behalf of Airedale House Management Company has been approved by the Bradford Metropolitan District Council, paving the way for new measures to stop persistent fly-tipping in a conservation area passage off Upper Millergate and Sunbridge Road.

What’s the Issue?

The passage had become a frequent fly-tipping hotspot, leading to health and safety concerns as well as negative visual impact. Swann Property submitted a proposal to gate off the passage, aiming to reduce misuse while keeping community needs in mind.

After local consultation and review, the council has now approved a modified approach that introduces practical safeguards without fully restricting access.

Why It Matters

Fly-tipping doesn't just affect aesthetics , it impacts public health, property values, and the wider community. As property managers, we understand the responsibility we hold to protect and improve shared environments.

We’re proud to have played an active role in initiating this change and look forward to seeing the area benefit from a cleaner, safer future.

At Swann Property, we remain committed to solutions that create real, lasting impact.
