DEVELOPERS who cover roads with mud and other detritus from building sites could face enforcement action following calls for a crackdown. There was cross-party support for Kirklees Council to more strictly monitor builders in the borough after pictures and video emerged of lorries at the massive Mirfield 25 site leaving trails of mud on the A62 Leeds Road. The matter came to a head at the council’s Strategic Planning Committee when Clr Martyn Bolt (Con, Mirfield) said some roads had become hazardous with cars at risk of skidding and that the problem had gone on for a year. The committee agreed to enforce planning conditions – including ensuring developers use wheel or pressure washers on vehicles – and requested an update by the next meeting on January 27.
