Respondent: Mr Michael Elsmore

In 2004 I made representations at the Public Inquiry of the UDP. The Inspector made relevant comments as to why Silsden should not be developed as planned. None of his recommendations as to infrastructure have been put in place in the last 17 years yet hundreds of houses have been built! This section of the plan needs to be rewritten with his comments in mind because they are STILL valid! No attempt has been made to improve foot access to the station - it needs investment which the Council are not prepared to make. There are three major junctions on the main road through the town, two minor attempts have been made to ease the problem but proper traffic lights are necessary (again lack of investment). There are so many issues that another public inquiry is needed.
