  • Inner South Leeds Area Committee Date: 8Th October 2008 Subject
    Originator: Martin Farrington Tel: 2243816 Report of The Director of City Development Meeting: Inner South Leeds Area Committee Date: 8th October 2008 Subject: Consultation on the Draft Vision for Leisure Centres in Leeds Electoral W ards Affected: Specific Implications For: Middleton Park Beeston & Holbeck Equality and Diversity Community Cohesion Ward Members consulted Narrowing the Gap (referred to in report) Council Delegated Executive x Delegated Executive Function Function available Function not available for for Call In Call In Details set out in the report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.0 Purpose of this report 1.1 This report seeks to inform Area Committee members of the Draft Vision for Leisure Centres presented to Executive Board on the 2nd September 2008, which is now subject to consultation. As part of the consultation process, members of the Area Committee are asked to consider the draft proposals presented and to provide feedback on the proposals that affect their area. 2.0 Main Points 2.1 On the 2nd September 2008, the Council’s Executive Board received a report outlining a draft vision for the Council’s Leisure Centres (Appendix 2). The report outlined the aspiration by the Council to improve the quality of its Leisure Centre provision, but also recognised the increased costs associated with operation of the service, significant investment challenges and the unstable nature of the existing budget position. 2.2 In addition, the report also identified an over supply of swimming pool facilities in the City. 2.3 Whilst recognising the challenges that the service faces the Executive Board report proposes a draft vision for the future provision of Council Leisure Centres to help achieve the Council’s improvement priority to enable more people to become involved in sport and culture by providing better quality facilities and activities.

  • Stuart Andrew Mp
    STUART ANDREW MP Our Ref: SA/AC/LinkRoad Leeds City Council Highways and Transportation Selectapost 6 Ring Road Middleton LEEDS LS10 4AX 24th February 2016 Dear Sir/Madam, RE: AIRPORT LINK ROAD CONSULTATION I am writing to object to the three options proposed for the link road to Leeds Bradford International Airport (LBIA) for the following reasons: Option A The Council’s own leaflet on this consultation acknowledges that this option would have the greatest impact on farm and woodland. With grave concerns already being raised over the Council’s Site Allocations Plan and its impact on the greenbelt, it seems counterintuitive for the Council to acknowledge this while then building on the greenbelt at a later date. Additionally, the Horsforth spur for the rail link is estimated to cost £50m – less than the £75m allocated for this option. Furthermore, this will not assist with traffic coming from North Yorkshire, Bradford and those using the A660 from the east. Option B This option provides much less traffic relief than option A. While it is less expensive, the main access into the airport will still be from the A658. This seems to go against the entire issue of solving connectivity. Option C This option is nowhere near comprehensive enough to solve the connectivity issues facing LBIA. It will not go far enough in improving accessibility for the airport and will provide little traffic relief to local communities. This is a piecemeal approach, which would adversely affect the local school and the side streets which would join the main road. To create a main road in this area would see an increased danger to children leaving the school and families trying to get onto the main road from their street.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 1.01 These comments are submitted on behalf of KCS Development, a residential site promotion company seeking the allocation land of south of Harewood Road, Collingham (Site 1293) in the Leeds Site Allocations DPD (SAP) for 85 no. homes with extensive open space and buffer landscaping. 1.02 KCS Development is a Member of a consortium of housebuilders (the Collingham Consortium) and site promoters that is proposing a comprehensive masterplan for future housing development in Collingham. The KCS site comprises one of 4 allocations that are proposed in the settlement that together will deliver: 450 new homes, thus reflecting Collingham’s role as one of the larger settlements in the Outer North East Housing Market Characteristic Area (HMCA), with a good range of shops and services and public transport services; A site for a new primary school, thus providing the opportunity for education facilities within Collingham to be substantially improved, to the benefit of existing and future residents; and A new access route between Harewood Road and the A58 Leeds Road, which would help to reduce traffic through Collingham Local Centre. 1.03 KCS Development is also a member of a consortium of housebuilders and site promoters (the ONE Consortium) that is proposing an alternative strategy to meeting housing needs in the ONE HMCA than that proposed by the Council.

  • Leeds Civic Trust As a Contribution to Discussions Emerging from the Leeds City Centre Vision Conference (Jan 2008)
    Linking the Station to the City - crossing the Loop & more What can we do with the Loop around the Station and City Square? This report has been prepared by the Leeds Civic Trust as a contribution to discussions emerging from the Leeds City Centre Vision Conference (Jan 2008). November 2008 Current Problems at City Square & the Rail Station 1 2 3 Arrowheads on plan above show photo numbers 9 6 8 4 2 7 5 A Proposed New Route for the Loop A Big Idea at the City Centre Vision conference was to move the Loop out of City Square to provide stronger links between the rail station and the shopping zone. However, this would require expensive tunnels under the Square or station, bridges west of the station (impacting on Holbeck Urban Village) or a new route west of the railway. The last (shown on the plan on the left) would duplicate the role of the Inner Ring Road and not perform the function of an inner distributor. Not advocated: relocated Loop in red A More Practical Solution? We have looked at two other questions to generate approaches which are more achievable: · how can the impact of the Loop on City Square be reduced? · how can pedestrian links between the station and the city centre be enhanced? We suggest relocating sections of the Loop in order to create a simpler route through the area, ensuring that motorists have fewer choices as to the way they can go and pedestrian crossings can be shortened. 1 2 3 1 2 3 City Square: fewer lanes and Bishopgate St: new traffic-free space Swinegate: Loop diverted to turning options by closing short-cut to Neville St Sovereign St and Neville St 3 What is the problem? There has been long-standing concern about the sense of arrival at Leeds City Station.
