I WOULD LIKE TO SEE

Transport
• The prioritisation of funding for a safe crossing for the A629
• Linked improvements to pedestrian access from Silsden to the crossing
• A co-ordinated approach to bus and rail services and the provision of a new bus service to Skipton.
• That an essential transport study of the town is undertaken before any the local plan and accompanying housing allocation for our area is adopted.
• The town to be prioritised for funding to secure a 20mph zone beginning at all entrances to the settlement.
• A restriction on larger HGVs which are unable to negotiate the A6034 at Kirkgate safely.
• More access points to the towpath and an end to development which obscures the canal from view
• I support the ambition of better public transport but would like to know how plan to make a reality when bus services to our community continue to be cut, pedestrian routes are compromised and transport modes are not fully integrated.
