The long-awaited proposals for changes to Valley Road/Canal Road and Manningham Lane/Keighley Road/Bradford Road are about to be published by West Yorkshire Combined Authority.
BSTA has alerted its almost 500 community residents and organisations from around Manningham, Frizinghall, Owlet and Shipley who have provided their contact details to be made aware of plans for the roads between Bradford and Shipley.
A public consultation is expected to start on Monday 22nd July and last four weeks. This is the height of the holiday period, and affected schools will not be able to be consulted.
When we have had a chance to review the proposals, we will send you guidance on how to respond. We will be looking to protect the safety of local communities, improve air quality, and reduce the health and carbon impact of traffic through better alternatives – buses, bikes and walking.
It appears that the Council has listened to public concerns and dropped plans to turn Canal Road/Valley Road into a four lane highway. We await their formally published plan.
