At a recent Flockton Bypass campaign meeting (24 February 2020) Tom Kay, Chair of Wakfield Rural Ward Labour Party, along with others, confirmed his support for a Flockton Bypass. Tom later posted in the facebook group, Blacker Lane Road Safety Campaign:
"Keep your eyes out for our Flockton Bypass support leaflet. Signage has changed at Grange Moor meaning more HGVs through Middlestown, Horbury Bridge and Netherton going up hill past our school [and Blacker Lane]. – Rural Ward Labour Party."
David Rawling responded:
"The restrictions were tightened/made clearer from previously. Was easier to flout them, and harder to prosecute.
"Signage was changed several months ago, unfortunately resulting in more having to follow the diversion signs. Or finding other ways round. Many through Netherton itself, with a good number using Blacker Lane I would imagine. You may well have noticed this.
"A bypass for Flockton would go a long way towards reducing this, if not stopping it altogether. Recognised by members of various political parties representing our communities, including our two MPs."
(15 people attended the Bypass meeting).
