Tong Valley

I have to be honest and say I live in what many regard as a not very nice area of Bradford. Just 15 minutes walk from my door though I am in the Tong Valley area. This valley of green lies between Bradford and Leeds and is really quite splendid.

Bradford Council are trying to build houses along this valley, one particularly memorable statement from them is that the land is little more than scrub land in parts. Silly people.
