Local consultation events for Mass Transit plans in Leeds and Bradford
A series of drop-in events will be held across Bradford and Leeds, as part of a major consultation on West Yorkshire’s plans to create a Mass Transit network.
24 July 2024
The events, taking place between July and September, will allow people to learn more about proposed routes for phase one of the network, which would link areas in Leeds and Bradford.
More than 20 drop-in sessions will be held in community centres, libraries and other venues close to areas earmarked for proposed lines, and will be open for up to four hours.
Members of the public in areas including Hunslet, Beeston, Harehills, Pudsey, Armley, Bramley, Laisterdyke and Thornbury – as well as Leeds and Bradford city centres – will have the chance to hear about the plans and have their say as part of the public consultation.
It follows the start of the consultation by Mayor of West Yorkshire Tracy Brabin earlier this week, in which a series of possible route options across the Leeds Line and Bradford Line were revealed.
Feedback will then be considered as part of ongoing development work, and help determine proposals for a preferred route for each line. The statutory preferred route consultation will be held in 2025, and the Mayor has previously promised to have spades in the ground on the project by 2028.
Simon Warburton, Executive Director of Transport at the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, said: “Mass Transit will act as a catalyst for growth and help us to create a better-connected West Yorkshire.
“This is a scheme that will change the way people get around the region for generations to come – for such an important decision, we need to hear as many people’s opinions as possible.
“We’ve had a brilliant response so far, with more than 1,000 people giving feedback on the scheme in the first week, and we now want people to pop in, ask our project team, and find out more about our plans.”
The 11-week consultation will close on September 30, 2024.
