Leeds street identified as one of worst in country for potholes

PotholesNews of King Lane’s unwanted title emerged as a separate YEP investigation revealed that council bosses in Leeds have forked out more than £500,000 in compensation to people injured because of poorly-maintained pavements.

A total of £526,449 was paid to the personal injury claimants by cash-strapped Leeds City Council over the course of the last four financial years.

The council received 1,167 claims for compensation for injuries related to uneven or neglected pavements during the same period, although it is not clear how many of those were successful.

The pavement payouts have been criticised by the TaxPayers’ Alliance while concerns have also been voiced by campaigners for people with sight loss problems, who could find damaged surfaces tricky to negotiate.

Today, though, the council defended its record on keeping the city’s highways safe for pedestrians and motorists alike.

Vandals Targeting Leeds Trolleybus Signs

TrolleybusTransport chiefs fear their information blitz about the Leeds trolleybus scheme is being derailed by a dirty tricks campaign.

Around 70 per cent of official notices placed on lamp-posts to give people more details on the project have been vandalised or removed in one part of Headingley.

Many of the notices – which are printed on weather-proof paper that is designed to be difficult to rip – have been repeatedly defaced with anti-trolleybus slogans.

The signs are being put up to let residents know how they can have their say on the latest stage of plans for the New Generation Transport (NGT) trolleybus system.

NGT project director Dave Haskins said: “It seems that some of NGT’s opponents in the Headingley area are determined that their fellow residents should not be able to express their views on the scheme.
