The numbers of dwellings is already excessive: more than the village roads can cope with, and we have insufficient places at the primary school and Mernston has no secondary school. Already, Menston's secondary age children have to go to Leeds schools (eg. Guiseley) or elsewhere, and this adds to the commuter problems. Bradford Council has already allowed building on every bit of available greenspace apart from our small park and bits of Public Open Space. The sites already approved can only access jobs and main roads by travel though the narrow and congested streets of this village, increasing the hazard to pedestrians and other road users. You take no account of the fact that we've had High Royds thrust upon us as, technically, it is Leeds' Council area. Enough! Leave us as a village.
