The works to install the replacement measures on Moor Lane in Burley are now scheduled to take place during the week commencing Monday 24th October.

I am advised that, given the narrowness of the road at some points, temporary road closures will sometimes be required between 09:30 and 16:00 hours.

The construction of the speed table at the junction with Hag Farm Lane will also cause some inconvenience to the residents of the 18 homes there. Highways will be writing to these homes to keep residents informed.

One of the longest standing item in my inbox (along with Chris and Dale’s) has been doing something about speeding traffic and pedestrian safety on West Chevin Road, which runs between Menston and Otley.

Following an extended delay due to local government bureaucracy an a very long wait for comment from the Ambulance Service, the Council is finally advertising a scheme which should make the residential part of this popular rat-run much safer.

I’m very pleased all this work (including considerable effort by local residents to keep things moving forward) is now coming to fruition and we can finally tell people on Viewlands that there is not much longer to wait!
