Representation ID: 3408

Representation Summary:

Traffic/congestion - The existing traffic queues along the A650 are already horrendous. Regardless of peak/off peak travel times it is always a struggle to turn out of our junction (Branksome Drive) (particularly if turning right) and once you do, you are almost always joining a slow crawling queue of other vehicles.

If the proposed access will be via the existing Bankfield Hotel signalised junction; this will mean even further congestion backing up as far down to the roundabout leading to the Bingley Bypass. This completely goes against the purpose of the bypass forcing many to find alterntive routes, pushing traffic further afield to come through Bingley Town centre/ through the back roads of Nab Wood residential streets.
