IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

This website and forum has been living on borrowed web server time for years. At the end of this month silsden.net in it's present form will cease to exist, BUT there is a new silsden.net in the making, and a new forum, and lots of exciting new things coming to this space. Peter

Peter Website Member Posts : 5064	11/03/2014 : 10:28:17 The one thing that struck me about this document was how insular the transport and employment policy was. The 2012 Silsden Survey had a very strong support/requirement for better transport links to Skipton and this planning document does nothing to address this. The Aire Valley is a natural corridor which doesn't stop at the Steeton roundabout. The document, in effect, proposes the increase in traffic through Silsden by promoting a better bus route to Ilkley and a vague promise of employment within BradMet.
