    Thank you for your question and feedback. We are proposing to narrow the travel lanes which should encourage drivers to slow down. We are currently looking at what other feasible measures could be incorporated with this scheme, or as a standalone scheme for speed reduction.

  • Share I have three questions on the scheme: 1. What are the proposals for access to the Wesley Street car park once access to Back Wesley Street is removed from Aire Street? How will this be signed? Doesn't this just force people turning right to access this car park to go via Sagar Street in an arguably less safe manoeuvre given its position relative to the two the bus stop lay-bys? 2. How will the ban on right turn manoeuvres into Bank Street be enforced other than signage? Will any physical measures be put in place to prevent this? 3. The plans show vehicular access to the site of the old Ship PH cut off but the carriageway outside it maintained and the building to remain. Is vehicular access to be maintained to this area? The plan shows a right turn lane straight into what I assume is a grass verge, although the green area is not included in the key. on Facebook Share I have three questions on the scheme: 1.

    Thanks for your questions.

    1. The proposals would see Back Wesley Street car park being accessed from Sagar Street, or Church Street/Carlton Street as an alternative, which also offers the option of accessing Bank Street. As part of the scheme, existing signage would be revised and improved where required. With regard to Sagar Street access being less safe due to its close proximity with the bus stop, this is the current arrangement, with no accident or issue reported.

    2. There would be a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) in place to make it an offence if this manoeuvre is taken. Unfortunately due to physical constraints, no physical measures can be put in place.

    3. Vehicular access would be maintained but limited, depending on what is proposed under the regeneration scheme. Please refer to the regeneration feedback page for further details: www.wakefield.gov.uk/castlefordregen
