I have lived on the corner of st johns Avenue for 7 years now and in that time I have noticed a significant increase in traffic through the village and st. Paul's rise. Often vehicles are travelling over the 20mph speed limit and I fear for the many young children who live in this area. Any development would cause too big an increase in traffic, especially with no bus stops close by. Everyone would travel by car. The main road has doubled in activity over the past 7 years with vehicles passing through the village from Ilkley and Silsden, driving towards Bolton abbey and Harrogate. Another route to Bolton abbey and Harrogate bypassing the village would need to be put in place before developing Addingham any further. People have to park on main street so large parts of it are only passable in one lane only.
