I read with great interest your front page article and in particular the comments from the politicians. There appeared to be a lack of awareness and readiness in response to the “Public Consultation” put forward by the Consortium for the future East of Otley Development, houses and Relief Road. In a project that has been around for 20 years the Consortium have stolen a march with their recent document and caught the three Leeds City Councillors and the Town’s MP on the back foot. Difficult to understand, when Leeds City Council are part of the Consortium, you would think their radar would have been tracking the situation more closely.
