A consultation has been launched where residents in parts of ‘outer’ West Leeds can have their say on travel issues in their communities.
Connecting Leeds wants to better understand issues related to travel in Leeds and are consulting in a few wards at a time for a period of six weeks.
The consultation has now gone live for people living in Calverley & Farsley, Farnley & Wortley and Pudsey wards and will run until Sunday, 8 September 2024.
The consultation looks at issues related to travel, including how people access public transport facilities, whether people feel unsafe walking, wheeling or cycling, the attractiveness of a street, or where traffic and speeding are causing issues.
A Connecting Leeds spokesperson said: “Your comments are important to us as we will use them to help us prioritise improvements, as and when funding becomes available, in line with our Leeds Transport Strategy targets.”
The main aim is for people to have their say on transport/safety issues in their local area. Residents, businesses and stakeholders can do this by visiting this website and dropping a pin on a map. The five main themes are:
- Vehicles and parking.
- Walking and wheeling (including accessibility, prams, wheelchairs and scooters).
- Cycling.
- Accessing bus stops and rail stations.
- The street environment.
The data from these consultations will help Connecting Leeds prioritise improvements when funding becomes available.
