Following our last Parish Council meeting letters were forwarded to our local MPs with regards to the lack of progress being made on  the proposed footpath for Sutton Lane.

Robbie Moore MP and Julian Smith MP have raised this matter both with North Yorkshire Council and Bradford Metropolitan District Council asking them to look into the concerns raised and provide an update. 

The reply from the Chief Executive of North Yorkshire Council informs that the Specialist Engineer has returned from sick leave. Encouragingly, the Traffic Engineer has already discussed the scheme with him and indicated his intention to re-engage with the landowners in the very near future.

BMDC is leading the project and the majority of the scheme falls within their jurisdiction. NYC are largely reliant on their progress. North Yorkshire Council's role will primarly come into effect once the on-site works are complete, at which point NYC will make the agreed financial contribution.

Any further information from Bradford Council will be provided on this site on receipt.
