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

Fantastic service - super efficient, no nonsense, quick and communicative. I own and run a Leeds-based Estate Agency and we've tried and tested many many conveyancing solicitors and I can honestly say, Winstons (Samantha and team in particular) are amongst the best! Thanks so much for your help with my recent property sale!

I would highly recommend Winston Solicitors! I was referred by my cousin who also had a fantastic experience. I can’t thank Samantha and Joe enough for their services from day one. They made the whole house buying process feel clear and much less daunting, which I particularly appreciated buying on my own for the first time. They were very responsive and went above and beyond to ensure that I completed on the day I had hoped. The attention to detail in the enquiries was particularly appreciated. Thank you!

Winston’s were easy to engage and provided clear and transparent information on the process and upfront costs. Once engaged they were responsive and simple to work with. In particular Sidraa was excellent to work with, she was quick to respond and helpful. I was very appreciative of the efficiency and pace with which we progressed.

I found Winstons to be a highly professional, efficient and compassionate firm of solicitors. The original estimate of fees for dealing with a complex probate matter including the sale of a property and dealing with inheritance tax proved to be very close to the final amount charged. At all stages throughout the process I was kept well informed of progress and was consulted whenever necessary. All correspondence was polite and pertinent, and my wishes were acted upon promptly. I would have no hesitation in recommending Winstons to others and would readily use their services myself in the future should the need arise.
