Leeds City Council wants to hear from people who live and work in South Leeds about transport and safety issues in the local area.
This could be about how you access public transport facilities, whether you feel unsafe walking, wheeling or cycling, the attractiveness of a street, or where traffic and speeding are causing issues.
The consultation is running online at leedsstreetsforallis.commonplace.is Comments are being groups into five themes, or ’tiles’:
- Vehicles and parking
- Walking and wheeling (including accessibility, prams, wheelchairs and scooters)
- Cycling
- Accessing bus stops and rail stations
- The street environment
Dropping pin on the map of the area to mark where a problem you want to comment is located opens options for you highlight the issue you want to raise. This could be anything from a lack of dropped kerbs to speeding traffic, or rat runs.
Funding for travel improvements from central government often comes with a short bidding timescale. Leeds plans to get ahead of the game by preparing a list of schemes that fit the Leeds Transport Strategy so that funding can be applied for as it becomes available. The Council wants residents to help prioritise the list of possible improvements.
The consultation is being rolled out across the city area by area. The consultation for Beeston & Holbeck, Hunslet and Riverside and Middleton Park wards runs until Sunday 24 November.
While you’re here, can we ask a favour?
South Leeds Life is published by a not-for-profit social enterprise. We keep our costs as low as possible but we’ve been hit by increases in the print costs for our monthly newspaper which have doubled in the last two years.
