We share the concerns of residents of both Leeds and Bradford over the scale of housing development currently being considered and also may be put forward in future years. We remain concerned about the consistent lack of consultation on development either on the Leeds or Bradford side of the border.

The ongoing pursuit of developing a link road through the Tong Valley will have significant impact on Leeds. In 2019, here in Horsforth & Rawdon, we secured a huge victory for our residents and the environment by forcing a U-Turn on our phase of a link road scheme by highlighting many of the concerns raised to you over Tong Valley.

The Greenbelt implications are not limited to the environmental concerns associated with a new road. The unsustainable housing over development that will follow a new road will wreck the Greenbelt enjoyed by residents from Bradford, Leeds and further afield.
