Bradford faces severe snow disruption, with residents struggling to reach essential services and events amid icy conditions.
Bradford: The snow has really caused a stir in the city, making everything icy and slippery. Roads and paths are a mess, and it’s tough to get around.
Over 180 schools have shut down because of the weather. The snow has piled up everywhere, turning even simple trips into risky adventures.
One grandmother shared her story about her car being stuck in the snow for three days. She’s worried about the vulnerable folks who can’t get to the Warm Space community sessions.
Another resident, Victoria, had to walk a whopping 10 miles to her dad’s funeral. Many others couldn’t make it because of the icy conditions. It’s been a real struggle.
Samitra Mistry, a 62-year-old pensioner, hasn’t been able to move her car since the snow started. She’s more worried about her community program being canceled than her car being stuck.
She joked about how her car is safe from being hit this time, but she misses her daily outings and the gym. It’s tough being cooped up at home.
Victoria, the daughter, described the hassle of getting to her dad’s funeral. With no taxis or cars moving, she had to walk a long way, which not everyone could manage.
Jade Roberts, a mum of two, said her street has been a challenge with everyone stuck in. Neighbors have been helping each other dig out cars, but it’s been a real team effort.
Jack Fearn, a 20-year-old, has been trudging through the snow, worried about how icy it’s getting. With no buses running, he’s been walking everywhere, which isn’t ideal.
Despite the chaos, he noted that the situation has brought people together, helping each other out in tough times.
