The council said a further 26 trees require "bespoke solutions" but could be kept, one tree will be removed and replaces, and a further 91 trees are still to be investigated.

Bradford council's children's services could take up to three years to improve from 'inadequate' to 'good', council bosses have said today.

The department was judged inadequate in September 2018 after Ofsted found children in need of protection in Bradford have been left "at risk of serious harm".

Little improvement has been made to protect vulnerable children in Bradford months after Ofsted raised concerns.

Discussing the Ofsted letter at a meeting, councillor Adrian Farley said: “We’re not in the place I’d like us to be.

"It will take about two or three years to get to a place where the service will be rated good.”

Mark Douglas took over as Strategic Director of Children’s Services last week.

"I am confident we can get to where we want to, two to three years seems realistic", he added.
