Reading an article in the T & A it was suggested that Bradford look at some of the derelict land to the South of Bradford to sort out their housing shortage. Seems like a good idea, close to Bradford where the jobs are

This idea was dismissed out of hand and the suggestion was that housing should be in places like Ilkley, Addingham and Silsden where people want to live because of the diversity of shops and a community.

Yes, a nice place to live but for how long if they destroy it with lots of houses built on the green belt, and where will all these new house owners work? Bradford, Skipton, Keighley, Leeds (but not Silsden). Where is the sustainability. I'm not against new houses but the community should be allowed to grow, if there is work the workers will need houses but they should be close to the work.

Expect the Local Development Framework to suggest lots of houses for Silsden built on our green fields. I can think of lots of sites within Bradford, perhaps we should identify them!

Councillors' 'new town' suggestions are ridiculed
