  • Share What are the plans for the former Royal Mail site between Broadway Midland Hotel and FSquare??? Being left to rot there for ages, in the meantime I suggest do like the hole in the waiting - knock down walls plant some grass and trees and make it a walk through green patch - at the minute it’s an eyesore and makes walking city centre a nightmare, access to F Square and Travelodge & Canal Road are isolated by it. Plus in the heatwave we realise we don’t have any grass park in the city centre - you got to walk at least a mile to get to Peel Park - or nearly 2 to get to Lister Park or Bowling Park. Plus I remember in 2013 there was a free bus just outside station and bike rental scheme. Could you bring in cheap buses and bikes back? £2 a ride is too much that’s why people don’t take them and roads are congested on Facebook Share What are the plans for the former Royal Mail site between Broadway Midland Hotel and FSquare???

    Thank you for taking the time to get in touch with us and ask some questions.

    The site you refer to is owned by British Land and not Bradford Council, and is therefore not under Council control.

    Similarly, the bus network is operated privately in Bradford and the Council therefore has no influence on what bus operators are able to charge customers. If you would like to leave feedback about buses, you can do so via the current bus consultation: Mayor’s Big Bus Chat

    With regards to your request for a bike hire scheme, while there are no plans or funding available currently to have a cycle hire scheme in Bradford, Leeds do have plans for a cycle hire scheme and Council officers will be looking at this closely to see how a similar scheme could be developed in Bradford.

    how wide are the proposed cycle lanes?

    Carlton asked over 2 years ago
    Hi there,

    Thank you for taking the time to get in touch. We have recorded your feedback as part of the consultation process.

    The cycleways are proposed to be a minimum of 1.5m where they are unidirectional (one-way) and a minimum of 3m where they are proposed to be bidirectional (two-way). These are minimum widths and where there is opportunity to make them wider, this will be taken.

    Kind regards,

    The Project Team

    Hi there,

    Thank you for taking the time to get in touch. We have recorded your feedback as part of the consultation process.

    The easiest way to reach the Interchange to pick up and drop off from Thornton would be to follow this route: Thornton Road/Godwin Street/Prince’s Way/Manchester Road/Croft Street/Bridge Street.

    Although Jacob's Well roundabout would be removed as part of these proposals, you would still be able to access Manchester Road to reach the Interchange, just not Hall Ings.

    We hope this is helpful, however, if you have any further questions, comments or feedback then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

    Kind regards,

    The Project Team
