North Wakefield Gyratory

I have received the traffic survery information I requested under the FOI act.

It seems to me from my initial look that

1. There appears to be no consideration of the cross streets ( St Johns N and Belgravia)
2. The traffic volume that will be forced down a single lane (as per the plan)  is more or less doubled
3. Wentworth terrace looks like it will get a real pounding

The diagrams and a donwload can be found here

Local residents have been busy making the scheme more widely know by placing this leaflet on cars outside St John’s school

Coverage in the Wakefield express

What I find interesting is how the council say this is “not a done deal” (Coun Denise Jeffery, Wakefield Council’s deputy leader and cabinet member for regeneration)

However the council have approved the scheme in a cabinet meeting, how is that not a done deal?

I know this is very short notice but the Wakefield express are keen to pick up on the gyratory story.

A photoshoot has been arranged, the meeting point for which will be the Londis shop, on Bradford Road/Link Road/Cyprus mount tomorrow (Thursday) 9th July 12:45.

I would really appreciate you, or anyone else locally that you can co-opt in to turning up, it will be very helpful

The Cllr Rhodes will also be attending so please do what you can to encourage people to be there
