Roundabout & Roads

It’s time to have YOUR say on the proposals for Saltaire Roundabout.

The SVS committee welcomes the approach of the proposal which puts community safety and the welfare of Saltaire at its heart.

Having formed many years ago to oppose plans to build a road through Roberts Park Saltaire Village Society (SVS) is keen to ensure we have sustainable traffic management appropriate to a World Heritage Site. We want to see:

o   Sensible management of existing local road network to improve traffic flow without encouraging more vehicles.
o   Implementation of the proposed 20 mph zone
o   Finding ways to limit rat-running
o   Research into management of parking by residents, rail commuters and visitors
o   Greater investment in and emphasis on the benefits of public transport

Hopefully, you will have seen information about the public consultation concerning the Saltaire Roundabout either online, in the newspaper, or by visiting the venues displaying information. Please note Victoria Hall still has the plans on display in their main entrance until the 16th March.  Victoria Hall will also be the location for a special Neighbourhood Forum at 7.30pm on this date.

Your views can be still be heard if you send in a form by Friday 9th April 2010 – make sure you make your voice heard! There is no perfect solution to the traffic pressures around Saltaire, but this proposal is worth your careful consideration.

If you wish to pinpoint something that specifically concerns you, please fill in a feedback form.  Copies may be available in Victoria Hall or please contact: Fiona.limb@bradford.gov.uk or call 01274 431184.  Paper feedback forms should be sent to Fiona Limb, Senior Transport Planner, 5th Floor North, Jacobs Well, Bradford, BD1 5RW by Friday 9th April.
