The aims of the Active Travel Neighbourhood in Chapeltown are to

Create safer, quieter residential streets, using planters and changes to signing.

Remove the ‘through’ traffic to prevent vehicles from outside the area using the residential area as a short cut and to maintain as much residential parking as possible.

Make it safer for children to play out

Make it safer and more pleasant to walk or cycle to local cafes, shops and parks.

Allow safer connections for local residents to the new cycle infrastructure that is due to be installed.

Review

We are delivering the Active Travel Neighbourhoods scheme using an experimental traffic order to trial the road closures for a maximum of 18 months. This will be monitored during this time to see whether traffic has reduced and road safety improved.

Before permanent closure to ‘through’ traffic, a statutory process would need to be followed which includes publication of notice and formal consultation. This trial will be in place for a minimum of 6 months and during this time we want to hear from you. Tell us what you think and if the Active Travel Neighbourhood should remain permanently.

We welcome comments and suggestions on how to improve your area more and let us know how you would like the permanent scheme to look like using the survey below .

Construction

It is anticipated most of this work will be undertaken during the day. Unfortunately there may be some disruption during the installation of the planters and signage. Pedestrian access to properties will be maintained at all times.

We’d like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience this might cause. The works are expected to be completed in September 2020, but if there are delays due to unforeseen circumstances this may be extended for a short time.

During the first six months of operation, anyone can submit written comments or objections by using the following link www.leedstraffweb.co.uk/consult/main.html , or email legal.development@leeds.gov.uk , or write to the following address: Development Team, Legal Services, Leeds City Council, Civic Hall, Leeds LS1 1UR.
