    Thank you for your feedback, all comments will be analysed as part of the consultation. 

    The scheme is currently proposing the installation of a new pedestrian crossing for Whitehill Road at the junction with Keighley Road which will provide a dedicated crossing point for pedestrians in this area. The existing speed limit would remain in place under these proposals and be subject to the usual monitoring and enforcement. All transport schemes implemented are subject to pre-agreed monitoring and evaluation measures after delivery, to assess their effectiveness and further measures may be proposed if believed to be necessary on review.

    Additional information on how speed limits are set by the Highway Authority in accordance with the Department for Transport (DfT) is available here: https://new.calderdale.gov.uk/streets-and-transport/road-safety/what-you-asked.

    If you want to make a specific representation to the Council for a change to speed limits in your area, this can also be done via: https://new.calderdale.gov.uk/streets-and-transport/transport-initiatives/minor-traffic-and-parking-improvement-scheme.
  • Share Why are you proposing to install speed humps on Old Lane? At the northehn end of Old Lane there is a chicane, formed by the old railway bridge, which slows traffic. Then the road narrows at 412 Old lane, and is further obstructed by residential car parking. The road then narrows again as cars / wagons are parked outside the various industrial companies. After the junction with Mill Lane the road narrows to a single track. Do the persons who conjure up these fanciful ideas ever visit the area, or is their only reference obtained via Google Maps. The whole idea seems to be an exercise in how to waste valueable money and resources. on Facebook Share Why are you proposing to install speed humps on Old Lane?

    Thank you for your feedback, all comments will be analysed as part of the consultation. The current proposals reflect feedback received during the previous Public Consultation (summer 2021), engagement with relevant stakeholders including ward councillors, the local cycle forum and Active Travel England and available traffic data.

    Thank you for your question. While providing additional cycle storage facilities are not within the scope of this individual project there are other active travel initiatives currently underway looking at increasing secure cycle storage provision across Calderdale including mobility hubs being developed at the rail stations in Todmorden, Mytholmroyd and Sowerby Bridge.

    A list of current cycle storage facilities available in Halifax is available via the Council's website here: https://dataworks.calderdale.gov.uk/dataset/2w7q3/cycle-storage.

    Alan Whitehead asked 5 months ago
    Any substantive structures works to the walls on Old Lane themselves are not proposed as part of the scheme, other than what is required for the proposed resurfacing of the footways in some areas.

    Given this project is still under development, if you have any more immediate concerns regarding highways wall on Old Lane or elsewhere, these can reported to: https://new.calderdale.gov.uk/streets-and-transport/roads-and-highways-maintenance/walls-structures-and-bridges. 

    The highway walls themselves are also in the process of being separately  assessed by the Council’s Highways & Engineering team in line with the above.

    To clarify the proposals are to better enforce the existing parking restrictions in place at the Keighley Road/Whitehill Road junction. The current double yellow lines would be repainted in line with the proposed footway widening/resurfacing works for Whitehill Road. The existing disabled parking on Whitehill Road is to be retained under these proposals.
