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.

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
