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

Representation ID: 6027

Received: 02/03/2021

Respondent: Steven Sutcliffe

Representation Summary:

1. I appreciated the need for affordable housing. I would like to express concerns about the additional impact on through traffic along Manor Road.

2. Current traffic calming measures on the lower part of Manor Road are not slowing down traffic. In some cases vehicles speed up or down the centre of the road.

3. I witnessed 2 cars racing side by side down Manor Road to the junction of Cottingley Old Road where both cars then stopped for an excessive time stopping other road users and the local bus from coming up Manor Road.

Consideration must be given to allow access to the development from an alternative route, either via “Main Street” or across to the B6146 to Sandy Lane.

Consideration for the road calming of full width traffic humps along the lower part of Manor Road to reduce traffic noise and improve road safety.
