BRADFORD Council is encouraging Ilkley and Ben Rhydding residents and business owners to get involved a consultation and have a say on proposals for new 20mph zones in the area.
The proposals are the latest in the Council's programme of 20mph zones across the district.
Similar schemes have been implemented in Bradford city centre, Shipley town centre and around dozens of schools across the district.
The Jack Lofthouse Annex room in the Clarke Foley Centre has been booked for Tuesday, December 13 from 9:30am to 8pm to hold the public consultation.
A special email address has been set up for the consultation: Ilkley-benrhydding20consultation@bradford.gov.uk and the plans will be placed on the Council’s website - www.bradford.gov.uk/consultations from the 12 December until the 10 January.
Work on the new 20mph zone should be complete by spring 2023.
Councillor Alex Ross-Shaw, Portfolio Holder for Regeneration, Planning and Transport, said: “Safety is our number one priority and the new 20mph zone should demonstrate our commitment to encouraging safer driving across the district.
“Ilkley will be an example to other towns in the district where there are similar expressions of interest, we want more mobility for all road users including pedestrians and cyclists in a safe and caring environment.”
