Saltaire Village Society will be putting MP Philip Davies in the hot seat at a meeting on Monday night.

Questions will be focusing on plans unveiled earlier this year by the Council to build a bypass around and under the World Heritage village.

Elaine Gilligan, chairman of Saltaire Village Society, said: "The plans show a road which is only partially tunnelled and abuts directly on to the World Heritage Site, ignoring UNESCO requirements of buffer-zone protection, and bringing exhaust-fumes right up to a school playground and local allotments, as well as disfiguring a canal and river area which locals consider their garden seeing as most Saltaire houses have none."

Mrs Gilligan said the bypass was being supported by a lobby-group calling itself Action Airedale.

Mrs Gilligan added: "There has been an overwhelming demand from local residents to find out more about these plans and so we're holding this event to give people the opportunity to ask their MP key questions."

The meeting starts at Victoria Hall at 7.30pm.
