Thank you if you responded to the consultation in 2018 on our initial ideas to solve issues on the Oakwood to Leeds route. We have reviewed all the feedback you gave and have been using this to update our plans. You can find information on the previous consultations on our website .
We are now excited to share our updated proposals for the route between St James’s Hospital and the city centre. Bus services in the area often get delayed and improvements are needed. Our proposals include bus priority and changes for pedestrians and cyclists. We believe the proposals are capable of reducing bus journey times by up to 6 minutes at peak times, making bus journeys more reliable and attractive for the 10,000 people who use buses that travel on this route each day. The improved reliability will not just benefit bus users on this section of the route, but all those travelling on other sections of the bus routes across the city.
Take a look at our plans and let us know what you think by 2nd August 2019. Don't forgot to share this consultation with any family, friends and colleagues who travel along this route so they can also have their say.
Thank you for taking part in the consultation earlier in year and providing valuable feedback on the route from Oakwood and Roundhay into Leeds via Harehills.
We have taken your feedback into consideration and have carried out further analysis and work on the proposals along the corridor. We aim to come back for further public consultation with our updated proposals to make bus services quicker and more reliable on the route in early 2019 but we have identified a specific improvement that could be delivered more quickly, so that the benefits can be seen earlier.
You can view the proposals and provide feedback at https://a58qtc.commonplace.is/schemes/proposals/easterly-road-changes-to-parking/details .
The deadline for feedback is Saturday 20 October 2018. If you have any questions about this proposal or any of the Connecting Leeds Programme please contact the team directly via email at connectingleeds@leeds.gov.uk .
Thank you for taking part in the first phase of consultation on the Connecting Leeds plans to transform the bus network in February and March 2018.
Leeds City Council received over 4,000 contributions to the exercise over a 6 week period. A report summarising the feedback will be published prior to any further consultation on the same projects. Unless you choose to unsubscribe you will be notified of any reports being published and all other key developments.
In the meantime we would like to invite you to take part in the active consultation listed below. Please take a few minutes to study the proposals and provide your feedback.
We have also re-opened the Connecting Leeds heatmap for your comments on the new routes.

The first phase of the public consultation on Leeds City Council’s plans to transform the city’s bus network is now underway. The launch event on 20 February was covered by the BBC and the Yorkshire Evening Post amongst others.
Over 5,500 members of the general public and stakeholders have viewed the proposals and over 3,000 contributions to the transport conversation have been received during in the four weeks since the Commonplace websites went live.
A series of events has already been held across the city. These focused on what the first phase of the Connecting Leeds strategy and the bus infrastructure along the three key routes into the city, which are also covered by the consultation websites:
Alwoodley to Leeds via Moortwon, Chapel Allerton and Chapeltown
Oakwood and Roundhay to Leeds via Harehills, Sheepscar and St James’s Hospital
Bradford to Leeds via Stanningley, Bramley and Armley
Members of the Connecting Leeds team speak to members of the public at an event in Chapeltown (10/03/18)
The events and online survey have been accompanied by communications through social media, printed media and our partners' networks channels.
We have distributed nearly 20,000 leaflets and posters in community, religious, leisure and health centres across the city. Over 150,000 people who live and work in the city have received emails inviting them to take part and have their say.
The opportunity to comment on the proposals for this phase is open until 13th April, but this is just the beginning. Further events will be taking place in the summer relating to the city centre, two more key bus routes and plans to deliver more park and ride spaces at key locations.
