A fifth betting shop will open on a city centre street after a Government inspector dismissed public health concerns that this would be too many.

Council public health officers said the increasing number of betting shops could harm people at risk of gambling addictions, but the planning inspector said "the introduction of one more is unlikely to have any significant effect on those people or the choices they make."

A new chapter is unfolding in Bradford’s supermarket scene. The Alam family, pioneers of the city’s Halal grocery trade since the 1980s, have restructured their business, with brothers Mohammed Arshad Alam and Pervez Alam now leading separate brands - Al Halal and Worldwide.

Far from signalling decline, the split has sparked healthy competition, bringing sharper prices, fuller shelves, and a return to the warm, community feel shoppers remember. With the next generation stepping in, Al Halal’s revival at the former Haqs/Wimmy Foods site in Listerhills is already transforming local shopping. Bradford’s supermarket landscape has never looked more vibrant.
