YOU have to feel for the people of Silsden.

No sooner is one infuriating, much-delayed set of works on the main road just outside the town coming to an end (hopefully!), than another is set to begin.

Residents and other motorists, who regularly use the route through Silsden, must be wondering what they've done to deserve it.

There is a general acceptance that the latest scheme is needed – it is not difficult to see the flood damage caused to the Keighley Road wall.

But it must be hoped Bradford Council has learned from the Bolton Road fiasco and that everything possible is done to minimise disruption.
