Barriers for cycle routes – time for a rethink about accessibility

Meeting on ‘Active Travel’ Corridor

Meeting on ‘Active Travel’ Corridor

Vocal opponents to the “Quietways” avoiding the A629 Halifax Road are circulating a great many half-truths and misinformation. A meeting with Kirklees Council planners has been called by opponents of this green corridor on Thursday 3rd March at 18.00 at Gledholt Church (on the roundabout just below the Ambulance station in Marsh). Interested KCC members should attend, particularly from north Huddersfield.
