Bradford was once the richest British city outside London, but after years of deindustrialisation and austerity, it is now one of the country's most deprived areas. While the frontline workers battle with health and social inequalities on the ground, their leaders are campaigning to improve the city's standing.

With access to Bradford's district nurses, police and council workers, we take viewers to the heart of northern England and follows the people dedicated to making their city a better place – from the frontline workers patrolling the streets all the way up to the leaders making strategic decisions in the city hall.

More than 28% of Bradford's residents are under 18s, a higher proportion than any other city in the UK, leading council chiefs to proudly proclaim it to be Britain's youngest city. But overseeing such a young population also brings challenges - particularly when Bradford's child poverty rate is double the national average and youth services have been cut by 73% in the last decade.

This episode follows the police, fire service, community groups and councillors as they battle to protect Bradford from antisocial behaviour and work with the community to improve relationships.
