Bradford-Shipley Travel Alliance – We believe any new road scheme between Bradford and Shipley must result in: Significantly improved air quality and safety in all residential areas affected by the proposed scheme, including for all schools. A response to the climate emergency including reduced carbon emissions, increased investment in public transport, walking and cycling, and less motor traffic overall. We request that no further consultation goes ahead without information that shows how the intended benefits of the scheme will be guaranteed.

Once again the Travel Alliance will be part of a Shipley Fields Road Street Party, on Sunday July 16^th.

Come to help out or come for a chat. We’ll be setting up from 11.15, and be there until at least 2.30pm.

The Frizinghall street party in May:

Carbon emissions from transport are more than we thought, says government.

A technical annex to the government’s assessment of carbon emissions trebles the impact of Electric vehicles and increases the amount of traffic expected. The report comments “This increases the need for government policy to achieve our Carbon Budgets”.

It could have put this more plainly with words like these: Our road expansion plans, and our lack of attention to public transport, are critically upsetting our chances of survival.

Help Shipley Primary children – could you spare an hour or two ?

In the last two weeks of June, Shipley Primary school on Otley Road needs volunteer stewards outside the school. It is to help them implement the ‘School Streets’ ban on motor vehicles at the back entrance of the school, at the beginning and end of the school day.

If you can help out, please first contact anna.watson@bradford.gov.uk.
