Proposals to ease congestion on Keighley roads remain on Bradford Council's "shopping list".

The executive members of Bradford Council met on Tuesday night to discuss measures to ease the Aire Valley's traffic-clogged roads but no decision was taken specifically regarding the Keighley plans.

The long-term proposals include the long-touted Keighley eastern relief road and the conversion of Hard Ings Road into a dual carriageway.

However, Councillor Anne Hawkesworth, the council's executive member for environment and culture, said: "It was put down on the shopping list that we will be looking at it in the future but it is not a priority at this point."

A transport action group, the West Yorkshire Group Campaign for Better Transport, has already slammed the distant proposals as "yesterday's solution to yesterday's problems".

Ray Wilkes, secretary of the group, said: "Today's problem is climate change and oil price inflation. The council's proposals do not address these issues at all.

"We need proposals for traffic reduction, public transport and active travel, reducing oil dependency and carbon emissions."

Cllr Hawkesworth said the package of measures to ease traffic on Aire Valley roads had a much stronger emphasis on public transport, including the building of a new railway station at Manningham.
