A spokesperson for the COuncil said: "You may have noticed the temporary 30mph speed limit on Calderdale Way (A629 Huddersfield Road).

"It's in place to ensure the safety of the team who are carrying out rock stabilisation work on the hillside. We're making the route safer for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers."

The work is set to be completed on May 31.
