POLICE officers and Bradford Council staff have cleared away a makeshift camp in Holme Wood.

Bradford South police said they had an early start with Council staff on Thursday morning in Holme Wood.

They said the improvised shelter had been used as a camp for parties, fires and causing general anti-social behaviour in the area.

They tweeted: "It won’t be accepted - the owner of an abandoned vehicle was also warned to move it otherwise we’ll recover it for him."

A Bradford Council spokesperson, said: “Bradford Council’s highways, cleansing and parks teams supported this police-led operation by clearing a section of the highway of materials which had been used for a makeshift hut.”
