The reason for this we where informed, was that the bridge was too weak for two lorries to pass over at the same time.
Finally some six weeks ago, work commenced to the strengthen the said bridge but to the motorists amazement on completion, Kirklees Highways has implemented the dangerous one-way system which was only there because of restrictions of weight.
Come on highways. please remove these obstructions and stop slowing traffic down announcement of yet another “cunning plan” by our Council. It beggars belief.
Build 31,000 houses with no infrastructure to support them.
There are 23 roads in Kirklees that are breaching air pollution levels set by the government.
A nice little jolly to Cannes to attract inward investment (I hope they are telling the truth about a town in a downward spiral of their making otherwise we will be getting sued under Trades Description regulations.)
Now we have been told of plans for a new cultural and arts centre when they could not bother to publicise the exhibition of the works of “Hudders- field Lad” and international artist David Blackburn MBE.

International co-operation is essential to deal with international issues such as tax avoidance by global companies, the laundering of monies stolen from weaker states and environmental problems, to name but three.
In a reformed, progressive EU, Britain could have played a role as a force for good across the world. Outside it, why would anyone listen to our government?
