    Good afternoon, 

    Our apologies in the delay in getting back to you, thank you for getting in touch. 

    Detailed consideration was given to the suggested proposal to connect the Spen Valley Greenway and Spen Ringway, with the scheme requiring additional funding due to third party land ownership before it could be implemented.

    Good afternoon, 

    Thank you for taking the time to get in touch with us regarding safety on the Spen Valley Greenway.

    These aspects will be considered in detail during the current, as well as future, design stages. The Greenway itself is owned and operated by Sustrans and any implemented measures will require their prior approval. We, The Project Team, are in regular contact with Sustrans.

    Good afternoon, 

    Thank you for taking the time to get in touch with us regarding these proposals.

    The feedback received following the successful completion of the public and stakeholder consultation stage will be fed into the ongoing design process. No decision to remove any parking allocation has taken place yet. 

    There are two further design stages and one additional consultation stage to be completed prior to any schemes being implemented, as part of which detailed assessment of costs and benefits will be derived and documented. The multiple design stage process allows for the most efficient and beneficial scheme to be eventually derived and built, taking into account a wide spectrum of parameters. 

    Further dialogue with the representatives of Littletown School is scheduled to take place, as part of which we will seek to derive mitigation measures that would alleviate the raised concerns.

    Kind regards,
