Hospital to get one-way system

From the archive, first published Wednesday 18th Apr 2007.

A partial one-way system is to be introduced at Airedale General Hospital, Steeton, to make traffic movement safer and easier.

It is expected to become operational between the accident and emergency car park and the day hospital for the elderly - in the direction of the day hospital - from Monday.

All three bus stops within the grounds will be changed to the opposite side of the road.

A hospital spokesman said: "The advantages are that large vehicles will have safer and easier access and there will be improved safety and convenience for patients, visitors and staff.

"People will no longer have to cross the road to get to the bus stops."
