Respondent: Shipley Town Council

Support intention to develop a network of on- and off-road cycle routes (TR1 A4 & A5) but we would expect to see in these objectives a re-statement of the prioritisation of cycling over motor vehicle traffic. There should be a commitment to the consideration of closing roads to vehicular traffic in favour of exclusive use by sustainable active travel modes.

A2 should more definitively commit to the use of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods ‘wherever possible’ so that the outcome is the creation of an ‘extensive’ network of LTN’s.

Section E - highways / junction ‘Efficiency’ must be for ALL road users - this section should include a statement that any highways developments would be subject to the continued prioritisation of cycling over motor vehicle traffic.

We are concerned about the impact of the Bradford-Shipley Route Improvement Scheme (TR1: E) on Shipley. It will induce increased traffic, congestion, air and noise pollution.

A number of active travel schemes in the Shipley area (see attached document) are proposed.
