We want to design the ATN proposals with input from local communities. Local knowledge is valuable, so we want to understand the following:

  • Which roads are used as cut-throughs by non-local traffic?
  • Where you find roads difficult to cross
  • Where are there issues with speeding traffic?
  • Where would you like to see new green spaces?
  • What local destinations you would like to walk or cycle to?
  • Where would you like your children to be able to play in the street more safely?
  • Are there any parking issues?
  • Permanent, physical barriers on footpaths.

Click on the ‘Map’ button below to drop pins and comment on locations within the boundaries.

If you would like to sign up to attend the co-design workshops which will be held in late 2022 or early 2023, please get in touch with us by emailing info@activetravelbradford.co.uk or calling us on 0808 196 9119.

    T Khan asked almost 2 years ago

    Thank you for taking the time to get in touch with us and ask a question with regards to the Manningham Active Travel Neighbourhood.

    We appreciate the feedback and your concerns with regards to the locations of electric car charging points, particularly with regards to the elderly and disabled.

    Your feedback will be taken into consideration as Bradford Council develops its EV strategy going forward.

    Just to reassure you, while no new diesel or petrol cars will be sold following the deadline of 2030, people will still be able to use their diesel and petrol cars as they do now, and second hand sales of diesel and petrol cars will still be permitted. Diesel and petrol cars will not be banned from driving following 2030 but phased out over a long period of time.

    We hope that is helpful, however, if you have any further questions or any feedback then please do not hesitate to get back in touch.

    Iqbal asked almost 2 years ago

    Thank you for taking the time to get in touch with us and ask a question with regards to the Manningham Active Travel Neighbourhood.

    We would firstly like to assure you that the consultation is genuine co-design with members of the local community and designed to be open and accessible to all to also build in the benefit of local knowledge. No plans have been designed prior to the beginning of the consultation process and all comments and views are being taken on board by the engineers and officers who are working on the scheme.

    To give you a summarised timeline of the consultation process, see below:

    1. November 2022 – Initial drop-in session held
    2. November 2022 – January 2023 – Initial online consultation held where respondents can drop pins onto a map to let the Council know any traffic issues they can see in their area, or suggest where they would like to see measures implemented.
    3. January 2023 – Hold first workshop with residents. Residents will come up with their own versions of the ATN.
    4. March 2023 – Hold second workshop with residents. Firm proposals will be presented for attendees to comment on.
    5. March/April 2023 – Hold a public consultation with the firm proposals, following any adjustments which could be made at the second workshop.

     

    Finally, it is important to note that genuine consultation is not a referendum and therefore does not involve a vote. The purpose of consultation is to allow the council to reach a wide audience and receive their views on the issues put to them, such as traffic issues in Manningham and possible solutions in order to create the best possible Active Travel Neighbourhood. No public consultation has ever involved a vote, but we are giving residents in Manningham the greatest possible opportunity to have their say and voice their concerns through this consultation process.

    We hope that is helpful, however, if you have any further questions or any feedback then please do not hesitate to get back in touch.

    Adam asked almost 2 years ago

    With regards to the potential scheme, we are starting this process with a blank slate and there hasn’t been any firm proposals or suggestions from the council as yet. The aim of the scheme is to discourage non-local through traffic from cutting through the area in order to make it more pleasant for residents and encourage walking or cycling for shorter, local journeys.

    The process for the scheme at the moment is:

    • November 2022 – hold initial drop-in sessions with the community to hear about potential traffic issues and get suggestions on how they could be solved.
    • November 2022 – January 2023 – hold an initial online consultation where people can drop pins onto a map to let us know any traffic issues they can see in their area, or suggest where they would like to see things like play areas, benches, planting and greenery etc… https://letstalk.bradford.gov.uk/hub-page/bradford-active-travel-neighbourhoods-atns 
    • January 2023 – hold smaller workshops with the community where around 20 people or so can discuss possible solutions to problems with council officers. If you would like to sign up to a workshop, please get in touch with us on info@activetravelbradford.co.uk 
    • April/May 2023 – hold a consultation with residents on the firmer proposals which council officers will come up with in conjunction with residents who attend the workshops in January and February.

    Raj asked almost 2 years ago

    Thank you for taking the time to get in touch with us regarding the proposed Manningham Active Travel Neighbourhood.

    Bradford Council are installing a number of public charging points to facilitate charging for residents without their own drive ways. Bradford Council does not permit on-street charging currently and does not allow cables to be trailed over pavements / highways from properties such as terraced homes.

    Modern electric vehicles have a range of upwards of 250 miles so there is no need to plug vehicles in everyday, in most cases (depending on your average mileage) an EV will need plugging in once or twice a week.  

    Within the Manningham Area Bradford Council have installed charge points at the following locations:

    • Manningham Sports Centre
    • Victor St Car Park
    • Manningham Library (these are new due to be switched on early 2023)   

    There are also a number of public charge points that have been installed independently of the council such as at supermarkets, service stations and workplaces.  The public network should enable residents the ability to use an electric vehicle even if they don’t have the use of a home charging point.   

    We hope that is helpful, however, if you have any further questions or feedback then please do not hesitate to get back in touch.

    Thank you for taking the time to get in touch with us regarding the proposed Manningham Active Travel Neighbourhood.

    We appreciate your feedback on the difficulty parking in the area and parking will be taken into account as part of the plans for the Active Travel Neighbourhood. Unfortunately, due to constraints on the funding we have received for the proposals, we would not be able to fund a formal parking scheme in Manningham as part of this scheme.

    Thank you for taking the time to get in touch with us and for your questions on the Manningham Active Travel Neighbourhood.

     

    The police will be a statutory consultee as part of the planning process along with the other emergency services, as will the Council refuse services. We will be using Living Streets’ guidance on ATNs and will be consulting with them to see how they can assist with gaining support for the scheme.

     

    Unfortunately, the development of fast food businesses and late night licencing does not fall under the remit of the ATN scheme. However, we would be keen to hear views of the community with regards to how ATN may exacerbate current local issues as this is not the aim of the scheme.

     

    We will be holding co-design workshops in early January so that we can speak in detail to residents and hear as many different views as possible. If you would be interested in attending a workshop, please get in touch with us on info@activetravelbradford.co.uk and we will be in touch with the details of the workshop.

     

    We will also be holding community consultation in advance of the scheme being implemented and so you will have a further opportunity to express your views should you not be able to attend the workshop.

    Thank you for taking the time to get in touch with us and for your question.

     

    The proposal for an Active Travel Neigbourhood in Manningham is currently at a very early stage and there aren’t any firm proposals yet. 

     

    Based on the information and suggestions we received at the drop-in session this past week, as well as future workshops with residents, we will come up with some firm proposals which we will put to the community in a public consultation in spring 2023.

     

    Firstly, we would like to assure you that, as part of the proposals that we do eventually come up with in conjunction with the community, no roads will be inaccessible by car. Some roads may have to be accessed from a specific end, but no roads will be completely closed off.

     

    With regards to your comments on businesses not being able to rely solely on walking, or cycling, trade, there is good evidence to suggest that investing in active travel infrastructure is very good for businesses. Business owners generally overestimate their trade from cars by a factor of 100%, while those who walk or cycle to shops tend to spend more time and more money in the area. This document provides a good evidence-based overview into why active travel investment is good for businesses: https://www.sustrans.org.uk/media/5224/common-misconceptions-of-active-travel-investment.pdf
