Holmfirth Film Festival is running a day of pro–cycling films on Sunday 20th March at Holmfirth Civic Hall. The event organisers are particularly keen to have local cyclists present with a stall, advice or exhibits to support the day.
Parts of the proposed Quiet ways alongside the A629 Halifax Road in the Phase 4 programme that started consultations in 2018 has hit organised opposition. Plans have been subject to petitions and online public meetings.
A629 Halifax Road Phase 4 plans for ‘quiet ways’ are threatened by local campaigns, particularly about Occupation Road, Lindley.
he M2D2L consultation shows significant improvements over many of the features from the earlier consultation, including additional length of cycle lanes; making mandatory cycle lanes 24 hours; and the inclusion of light protection.
These routes have been proposed as an alternative walking and cycle route to the A629 (Halifax Road) which provides a direct and relatively easy-gradient route for cyclists traveling between Ainley Top and Huddersfield Town Centre.
A629 Wakefield Road is the major route connecting Huddersfield to its environs with the most potential for increased active travel, particularly if better onward links to other destinations are added.
