Please see below information regarding the above received from Cllr Barry Anderson, which may be of interest to you.

As you may be aware the above footpath which runs from Church Lane to Bedquilts has been due to be upgraded following discussions and agreements between the Council and the owners of the various properties that have shared private vehicular access via this footpath.

I have now received an update from the Public Rights of Way Officer today (25/10/17) to say that following negotiations it has been agreed that an innovative, sustainable surfacing and drainage technique has been identified and will be used here, known as “flexi-pave” which comprises bound recycled rubber and stone chippings.

Once the agreements with the residents have been completed in respect of financial contribution an order will be raised by the Council in respect of their share of the cost.

It is hoped the work can start sometime in November. Whilst the work takes place it will be necessary to close off the path temporarily to public use and the work will be done over 3 to 5 days with 4 individual days need for the flexi pave surface to set properly.

I attach a plan how each individual section will be done on 4 different days and will start at the Bedquilts end and finish at the Church Lane end.

North West Leeds Consultation Summary

Please see the below update received from First UK Bus via Cllr Barry Anderson;

Dear Stakeholder

Further to our earlier emails, I’d like to update you on the consultation on First bus services in NW Leeds that operate through Headingley.

In March we commenced the first phase of the consultation and collected over 1,000 responses from both on-line and drop-in sessions. Based on this feedback and our own data & research, we then presented a number of options through further consultation events and an on-line survey. All this information has now been considered and a set of changes has been developed that is now being registered this week for implementation from 22 October.

A summary of those changes is listed below with further detail in the attached document,

• One journey per hour on service X84 will now run via Pool Monday to Saturday from c0700 to c1900 & a new evening timetable will operate with a new late journey from Leeds to Otley
• Route 97 will retain its current route and will run every 20 minutes during the majority of the day, a new timetable has been designed to improve reliability
• Service 19A will now extend from Tinshill to Yeadon via Trinity University and Rawdon. This will give new links to Rawdon Village and also improve links between Trinity and their students’ accommodation
• Services 1, 6 and 28 will also receive new timetables to improve reliability
• Changes will be made to driver duties to reduce cancellations, especially in the early evening
• Service 29 will be revised to run every 30 minutes with an hourly evening service.

We will share the changes with those who took part in the consultation next week in advance of wider communication.

If we can provide any further information on this please don’t hesitate to contact Paul Turner (copied in) or myself.

As Chair of local residents group I regularly meet people who have had varying experiences with the local bus service.

Recently myself and a small number of residents met with our local Ward Councillor and a representative from First Leeds Bus to go through several of the issues below: –

For example buses not turning up or buses being delayed or late.

It would be useful to gather some narrative from bus service users in this community both positive and negative experiences so that I can continue the conversation with First Leeds.

Please feel free to pass on to your friends and relatives that may use our local bus service.

Many thanks
