News on A660 Leeds

A new consultation has launched asking people for their views on travel-related issues between the centre of Leeds and the Hyde Park and Woodhouse areas.

We're asking people to identify current issues, what changes they'd like to see, and what they think should be prioritised to improve the Woodhouse Lane Gateway, which is a 2km section of route along Woodhouse Lane and Albion Street from St Mark’s Road to the Headrow in the city centre.

The scheme also covers the southern end of the A660, which links the city centre to Hyde Park and Headingley.

The Woodhouse Lane Gateway is already heavily used by people walking, cycling and using the bus. However, the area suffers from congestion which can delay bus journey times and it can be difficult to travel along the route by foot or by bike.

It also suffers from a high casualty rate with 98 reported casualties happening along roads within the Woodhouse Lane Gateway boundary since 2016, including 23 serious collisions.

If you live, work in, or travel along the route, you can have your say in the consultation before 19 February. Simply drop a pin on the map, let us know what changes you'd like to see and help prioritise improvements for a safer and more welcoming area.
