We welcome the general policy of enhancing access to green spaces and encouraging walking and cycling. We are particularly keen to see the development of greenways, above all the connectivity that would be provided by a Bradford to Halifax greenway via Queensbury Tunnel and the extension of the Great Northern Railway Trail through from Thornton to Keighley.
We believe a strong commitment to green infrastructure is vital for community health and well-being for present and future generations, and must be evidenced in scheduled projects that establish a comprehensive, safe and attractive network for active travel.

Although greenbelt areas are included here, the developments seem like obvious choices. We would like to see a built in requirement to provide cycle/walkways on each housing development area with a design that encourages active travel and discourages car reliance. We would like to see segregated cycleways along each access road and extended along main roads through Queensbury.
