    Thank you for your question. The shared transport hub would provide cycle parking to enable more people to cycle short distances into Otley. We are currently considering if there is demand for secure cycle parking lockers to be provided.

  • Share Otley provides essential local services to surrounding areas like Yeadon and Guiseley that arnt available elsewhere close by, like my NHS dentist. It dosent just serve Otley. Why are you only considering transport needs of people within 2 miles and not considering local geography like the Chevin and ignoring anyone not in perfect health. Otley needs investment in community and public transport not idiotic schemes which remove essential car parking facilities. on Facebook Share Otley provides essential local services to surrounding areas like Yeadon and Guiseley that arnt available elsewhere close by, like my NHS dentist.

    Thank you for your question and feedback. The car park locations are being considered due to their proximity to the bus station. We are looking to minimise the loss of parking spaces and envisage the future facilities would take a maximum of two or three spaces. Due to the nature of the facilities provided a Shared Transport Hub would likely most benefit people living close by, but it would serve surrounding areas too.

    This scheme is being funded through the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS), which is funding provided directly by the Department for Transport and can only be spent on the scheme for which it was awarded. This means the funding cannot be used for other activities, however the West Yorkshire Combined Authority is working on plans to improve bus services across West Yorkshire through its Bus Service Improvement Plan. More information on this is available here: www.westyorks-ca.gov.uk/improving-transport/bsip/
  • Share Not so much a question but a comment that has come to mind after completing the survey and looking at reactions on the Otley Town Facebook group. You need to explain more clearly that the funding being used for this comes from central government (not another project that will put LCC into more debt) and you need to explain that the money available for this project has rules/boundaries attached... When you propose something that is not essential to Otley everyone will just be up in arms and say why isn't council money being spent on fixing pot holes, making the bus reliable, and building another bridge to alleviate congestion on the only bridge in town - they don't understand that the money available to build this hub could not otherwise be spent on those 3 items. Something like 'WYCA won a bid for money from central government to improve active travel/public transport links and that is going to fund this project' - otherwise people will come to the survey with an immediate negative/pessimistic outlook.

    Thank you for your feedback and for raising this. We have now made the funding source and its requirements more clear on the main page of this consultation, in addition to the information already available in the Frequently Asked Questions. We will also take this feedback on board for future consultations on CRSTS schemes.
