Resolved-

This Council notes:

·         Yorkshire Day takes place on 1^st August and is the latest opportunity to celebrate all that’s great about our county and district

·         The success of recent events such as the Tour de Yorkshire which celebrate and promote pride in the district

·         The Council’s historic crest has taken a secondary position to the orange and blue logo in the last decade, yet the crest better represents the heritage and towns which make up our district

This Council resolves to:

·         Build on the success of sporting and cultural events such as Tour de Yorkshire and Yorkshire Day to promote pride in the Bradford District

·         Ask the Yorkshire Society to lead their traditional celebrations for 1^st August from Bradford at the next earliest opportunity

• Roll out the use of the Council’s historic civic crest in Council literature and civic buildings and gradually phase out use of the orange and blue ‘City of Bradford MDC’ logo, without incurring additional cost, to more strongly reflect civic pride and the different towns within the district.
