BRADFORD Council will hold a number of meetings with businesses in Shipley town centre over its controversial plans for a bus gate. New proposals would see cars prevented from using a stretch of Kirkgate, between the town s outdoor and indoor markets. It would become a bus and taxi only road, with widened cycle lanes. A number of other changes will be introduced on surrounding roads. It is hoped the changes will make the town centre less car centric, and more attractive to pedestrians, cyclists and the 33.8 per cent of households in Shipley that do not own a car. Shipley currently has illegal levels of air pollution.
PEOPLE have until next Wednesday to comment on proposals to limit traffic in Shipley town centre. Last month Bradford Council began a public consultation on plans to close a length of Kirkgate between the town’s indoor and outdoor market to cars - an effort to make the centre more pedestrian friendly. The ‘bus gate’ would mean only buses and taxis would be allowed to pass down the stretch of road, which would be widened to create a cycle lane either side. The public consultation on the plans, which also include turning a number of streets into one way systems and restricting entry to others will end on Wednesday.
