SIR – Could anyone enlighten me as to if and when the major improvements badly needed at Greengates crossroads traffic lights will start?

The plans were ongoing a while ago and shops were demolished ready for road widening. Since then the trail has gone cold.

Sadly, the problems have not!

At peak times the road grinds to a standstill and to cross on foot you are taking your life in your hands.

Now to add to our problems, the 645 bus service will not run up through Greengates traffic lights because of the time taken to get through the crossroads, leaving a large number of elderly residents unable to get to Sainsbury’s and the post office or to catch a bus home with shopping.

This is all caused by the Greengates traffic lights problems. Can we have some answers please?

Mrs B Burns, Flower Garth, Bradford
