In 1998 Sharmila became Community Safety Policy Officer at Bradford Council. In 2002 Sharmila was appointed Chief Executive of the Bradford Vision local strategic partnership, in which role she has been pivotal in turning around Bradford’s image since the 2001 disturbances as well as reducing deprivation and increasing community harmony.
