Heavy vehicles could face cobbled street ban
Thwaites Brow Road in Keighley is described as "part of local history"
- Published
Heavy vehicles could be banned from a historic cobbled street when a new traffic order is introduced.
Work to repair Thwaites Brow Road in Keighley, known locally as The Twines, began earlier this year.
It was paid for with £190,000 of the Keighley Towns Fund, and will see old "setts" repaired and new ones installed.
Bradford Council has now announced plans to prevent heavy vehicles from travelling over a stretch of the steep road.
This would prevent vehicles that weigh over 7.5 tonnes from travelling along a 50m (164ft) stretch from the road’s junction with Thwaites Bridge to Bank Top Way, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.
The order is due to come into force on Monday.
