Karen Bruce has made the following statement of support for inclusion in a short article expected to appear in the July issue of the Rothwell and District Record:
"I recognise that speeding traffic and lorries are a very serious issue within the ward which has long needed tackling and I will support residents to try to do what I can to help."
The purpose of the article is to show that the campaign continues, and to attract more active support.

Road map
One of the hot topics at the meeting with Karen Bruce was the issue of 24/7 HGV traffic travelling between Stourton and the M62. We have a catalogue of spurious reasons from council officers as to why nothing can be done about this, such as 'strategic routes', 'distance', 'access', and its worth just revisiting the road map to see what a 'load of cobblers' we are expected to believe.
Meeting with ward councillor, Karen Bruce
On Wednesday 8th of June a small group met with Karen Bruce, and her husband Stuart, to discuss the traffic issues causing greatest concern to the local community. Karen has actively supported the campaign in the past and is under no illusion that things have got better.
A number of fresh ideas were raised as to how things might be moved forward, and these will be reported upon as and when there is 'more meat on the bones'.
The meeting was encouraging, and thanks go out to Karen and Stuart, for their time, and input.
A further meeting is scheduled for July and dates and times will be posted once determined.
