Dear Mr Charlesworth,

I write to clarify the situation with regards to your Freedom of Information request that you made to West Yorkshire Police on 14/07/09. You requested the following information:

Please provide the following data, broken down for each year:

Please could you advise me how West Yorkshire Police is being proactive in reducing the risk of speeding motorists, and the risk of an accident on Bradford Road. Wrenthorpe; Wrenthorpe Road,

Wrenthorpe; Duke Of York Street/Coronation Street; and also the serious risk of the very wide section at the junction of Coronation Street & Wrenthorpe Road, Wrenthorpe?

Near the park on Wrenthorpe Road the path is very thin and motorists of all ages, mainly 40+ speed up and down this road and there is no protection between pedestrian and motor vehicle, even

if at 20mph there is a blow out.

Many motorists speed up and down Bradford Road with little regard for other road users.

At the junction of Coronation Street & Wrenthorpe Road, pedestrians put their lives in their hands when crossing. Cars appear out of nowhere and have very little regard for pedestrians and just turn in ignoring those on foot.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the continuing delay in responding to you. This is due to the large volume of requests currently being dealt with by West Yorkshire Police.

We would be grateful if you could inform us by your preferred method (contact details as above) if you still require a response to your request for information. If we do not hear from you within twenty working days from the date of this letter then we will assume that you no longer require the information that you have requested.

Please be assured that if you do still wish for us to proceed then we will be happy to do so.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Yours sincerely

Superintendent Tyron Joyce
