All the talk about roads to the airport being unable to cope with increased traffic is a smokescreen. Those of us who live round here know that the A65 has been notorious for years, but only in the morning peak with traffic going towards Leeds, and in the evening peak with traffic going the other way. The situation has been made worse in recent times with the large scale building of houses around Guiseley and Menston, and no thought being given as to how the increased commuter traffic can be coped with. Traffic surveys have shown that the airport's contribution to traffic levels has been insignificant.
