WORK TO construct the new junctions on the A6 north of Birstall to allow access to the 1950 home Broadnook Garden suburb began in January and will be completed by May 2024.
A new roundabout will be constructed on the A6 giving access to the new development. A second access roundabout will be created 100m to the west.

Immediately to the south of the access will be parcel one of the new development, 725 new homes.
Developers Davidsons will be building the first phase in this parcel, 109 homes, located at the main entrance to the Broadnook Garden Suburb. These new homes will be the first buildings, streets and spaces people will see when they arrive at the garden suburb.
Work to create an access route for developers to begin work on site is expected to be completed by July 2023.
