MEASURES to improve safety at the junction of Railway Road and Brook Street in Ilkley will be put in place shortly. This is one of the busiest corners in Ilkley town centre, as it is near the train station and a number of car parks.
Bradford Council’s Principal Traffic Engineer has confirmed to Ilkley Town Council the work will be financed through the Return to High Streets Safely Fund. It is intended to improve safety by tightening the radius of the corner on the south side of the junction. This will prevent vehicles taking a wide sweep at the junction and shortens the distance for pedestrians to cross.
