Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021

Representation ID: 18170

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Raymond Wilkes

Representation Summary:

As far as transport and connectivity go, it is essential that Bradford has a strong pro bus policy with good bus priority and demand management. This is the only way to decongest Bradford and reduce pollution. It is also the best way to facilitate active travel. Walking and cycling will always be unattractive unless many car users for whom active travel is not suitable for all their trips switch to bus.

The Manningham Lane and Canal road proposals are not pro-bus and show that the current plan is not fit for purpose.
