Resolved-

That whilst poverty is an issue for Bradford, the Committee notes:

·         That Bradford East is the most deprived parliamentary constituency

·         ¼ of all workers receive less than the National Minimum Wage

·         7970 families were affected by the recent changes to the Council Tax Reduction Scheme

On that basis the Committee asks the Anti Poverty Co-ordination Group to consider what further targeted interventions could be made in the most deprived areas referred to in Section 2 of Appendix “A” to Document “AF”.
