Public Meeting with Head of Highways and Head of Metro – SATURDAY MAY 11TH

NGT Civic Hall poster bCouncillor Lewis, the head of Highways, will be

At 10am this Saturday the 11th May, Councillor Richard Lewis, the head of Highways, will be at Leeds Civic Hall to answer questions on the proposed trolleybus scheme. Councillor James Lewis, the head of Metro, will also be attending the meeting and answering questions.

Both councillors are strong supporters of the scheme, which involves running trolleybuses from a proposed massive park and ride at Stourton, through Belle Isle, Hunslet and the city centre, to Holt Park.

The proposed route would take the trolleybuses across Woodhouse Moor, across the fields where horses graze on Headingley Hill, and through the Shire Oak Road conservation area. It would involve demolition of shops at Hyde Park Corner, a house on Wood Lane and the stone cottages at the junction of Otley Road and Alma Road. The broad grass verges in Far Headingley would be tarmaced over, and all the trees on the central reservation between West Park and Lawnswood would be cut down. The central reservation itself would be tarmaced over. And a massive park and ride would be built on the playing fields at Bodington.

Have you any potholes in your area?

We have recently received the information below from Greg Mulholland MP.

“As I’ve been out talking to local residents over the last few weeks’ one issue gets raised time and time again. Potholes.

The government has recognised that this has been increasing problem on our roads over the last few years and has given Leeds City Council £2 million over the last two years to help tackle this problem.

Many local residents are asking me where this money has been spent. I need your help.

Please fill in this form to let me know about potholes in your area. You can tell me about as many as you want just by clicking the link again. Please also pass this on to your friends, neighbours and family so they can let me know about any potholes too. I want to get a really good picture of the state of our roads all across Leeds.

Please get in touch if there’s anything else you’d like me to help you with.”

Best Wishes,

Greg Mulholland MP
