Council officer gets the inaugural award for sustainable flooding work

A Bradford Council officer has won a national flooding design award in recognition of her commitment to creating a more sustainable, climate-ready district. Saira Ali, Team Leader in Bradford Council’s Landscape, Design and Conservation Team, received a Rising Star of the SuDS World award at a virtual ceremony last week, run by susdrain - the independent and authoritative platform for those involved in delivering sustainable drainage. She said: “I’d like to thank everyone who voted for me and also those who have helped me in all the projects we work on.  I really have the privilege of working with some amazingly talented people, my team, our partners and our community who push us to be more ambitious, innovative and helped us to deliver some good work in Bradford”.
