In response to reported delays to the West Yorkshire Mass Transit System Greenside Greenway have issued the following statement:
“Greenside greenway are disappointed to hear of the extended timelines for delivery of mass transit in West Yorkshire.
We have long campaigned for the preservation and utilisation of the historic Greenside tunnel as a community asset, either as a greenway or part of a wider mass transit scheme.
While taking at face value the assurances from both the West Yorkshire mayor and national government that the mass transit scheme remains a priority, delays to the scheme only increase the risk of other developments on the potential route.
We are seeking assurances from both WYCA and national government that the proposed mass transit route utilising the Greenside tunnel is protected from development until a final route decision is made.”
