The absence of any strategy for highway improvements in Menston and Ilkley, in particular the A65, is unacceptable. The extent of housing development proposed for Wharfedale is such that this already heavily congested route will be overwhelmed. The concept that this will be compensated by modality change from road vehicles to walking, cycling and public transport fails to recognise that the A65 is a major through route from West Yorkshire to the North West, the M6 and Scotland.
