Leeds to get more 20mph zones

Officials in Leeds are preparing to unveil a large expansion of the city’s 20mph zones in a bid to improve road safety.

 

Councillors will hold discussions with highway officials as to where the new zones will be situated but one councillor, Neil Dawson, of the Morley ward, insists they will take place. Last year saw 26 fatalities on Leeds roads with 271 others seriously injured and almost 2,400 slightly injured and Mr Dawson wants to see the council come up with a plan to get 20mph zones outside all schools in the city and also onto estates where residents have requested a lower limit.

 

He said that new 20mph zones created last year have already proved a great success, but they would be improved further by greater enforcement of the new zones. Councillor Richard Lewis, executive member for development at the council, confirmed that six schemes covering seven schools had already been rolled out and another 11 covering 16 schools will go out this year. He said that highway officials and councillors would soon meet to discuss further expansion of the scheme.

Client feedback

Winston Solicitors were absolutely amazing! This was our second time moving house with Leasa and Julie and we genuinely cannot imagine the moving process without them! They were so friendly, kept us up to date throughout the whole process (without any legal jargon!) and kept communication open up and down the chain to ensure we had a quick and easy move (with 5 houses in the chain this was no mean feat!) Leasa and Julie went above and beyond, were always accessible via email and telephone, and there was never any need to “chase” because they were both so on top of everything! Words can’t express our gratitude for all the support they gave us in helping us move to our dream home. Thank you both so much!

Winston Solicitors have acted for me on many occasions for the conveyancing of property purchases and remortgages. I can't recommend Leasa Foster and her team enough. They make the transactions run very smoothly. They are clear with the information they provide to me, they are clear with the information they expect from me, and they are very thorough.
