Our family and site residents, ranging in age from 2 to 94, each day grapples with the reality of physical and mental health challenges. Nestled in the heart of Baildon, Bradford, we have found not just a home in Dobrudden Caravan Park, but a sanctuary where our unique needs are met, and our sense of community thrives. The prospect of losing this haven is unthinkable, yet we face the alarming possibility of homelessness if Bradford Council proceeds with selling the land to a third party. 

This predicament is not unique to us alone. Many families, with members both young and elderly, would face the uncertainty and upheaval of displacement, severely impacting their well-being and stability. The sale of the Dobrudden Caravan Park land poses an existential threat to a community that relies heavily on this space being preserved for residential use.

Bradford Council has an unparalleled opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to community vitality and social responsibility by accepting the purchase offer proposed by their own assets and properties team. This recommendation has been made with residents' best interests in mind and provides a sustainable solution that safeguards our homes.

By accepting this proposal, the Council will protect countless families from facing an uncertain future. Now is the time for Bradford Council to honour its responsibilities to its constituents, ensuring that the residents of Dobrudden can continue residing in the place they call home.

We implore the community of Baildon and supporters of community housing across the UK to join us in this critical fight. Your signature will stand as a powerful testament to the necessity of preserving the Dobrudden Caravan Park, ensuring that families like mine remain protected.

Please sign this petition and make our collective voice heard—encourage Bradford Council to act in favour of retaining Dobrudden Caravan Park as a secure place for its residents.
