KIRKLEES COUNCIL

(TRAFFIC REGULATION) (NO. 05) ORDER 2025

ALFRED STREET, DEWSBURY

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees propose to make the above Order under their powers in the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 the effect of which, as it affects a length of road in the Dewsbury area of the Kirklees district, will be to:

Introduce one-way traffic flow on Alfred Street, Dewsbury from its junction with Battye Street to its junction with Leeds Road

REASON: This order is proposed to introduce a one-way traffic flow to Alfred Street, Dewsbury.

This work is being funded by a collaborative initiative between Kirklees Council and the West Yorkshire Combined Authority and is funded by the Transforming Cities Fund with the aim to reduce congestion, improve air quality, and improve facilities for pedestrians and cyclists. The one-way is proposed in response to safety concerns, particularly in the wet, by making the road one-way uphill the risk of skidding accidents is removed at the junction with Battye Street.

The implementation of these changes are expected to improve road safety.
