Fall in those injured on Leeds roads

There has been an encouraging fall in the number of people injured on roads in Leeds, taking it to the lowest level in over 40 years.

There were 2,686 casualties in 2011, a fall of 78 on the 2010 figure and those killed or seriously injured also fell, by 14% on the 2006-2010 five-year average. Leeds City Council believes the downward trend is due in part to its influencing travel behaviour team, who have run road safety education programmes in which almost 50,000 have now taken part and which use drama, music and demonstrations by the fire service to get their message across.

The council also says that it is committed to road improvements throughout the city. Councillor Richard Lewis, the council’s executive member for development, said that the council was educating people about using the roads safely and the work done in conjunction with the fire service and the police was important in changing attitudes. He added: “If we can positively influence young people’s attitudes now, then we stand a chance of ensuring that they become safe and sustainable road users for life.”

Many of my family members have used Winstons Solicitors for their conyancing, over many years. I too have now used them and they did not disappoint. Samantha Robertson-Strong and Paulo Dos Santos were my main persons of contact. They were highly professional and very thorough, whilst maintaining an air of friendliness and approachability throughout. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

My son recently purchased a property. I had used Winston Solicitors for many years and had no hesitation in recommending them to him. Their service is outstanding; very professional yet friendly and approachable. Samantha is awesome. She always does a thorough job. Paulo, her assistant, has been an absolute pleasure to deal with as well. So a huge thumbs up and many thanks all around! - October 2025

This was a stressful (and as it was a property purchase caused by divorce), very emotional. Samantha and Paulo were always very kind and patient. - October 2025

I recently used Winston Solicitors for the purchase of my first home and was extremely impressed with the service. My solicitor, Leasa, along with her assistant, Julie, were outstanding throughout the process—thorough, accommodating, and always patient in explaining each step clearly. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable, always going above and beyond to support me. I truly appreciated their professionalism and personal approach, and I would not hesitate to recommend Winston Solicitors to anyone - I cannot thank you all enough. - September 2025
