This report addresses the Deputation received at the Full Council meeting held on 12th September 2018 from the West Park Residents who raised concerns about initial scheme proposals for the A660 and their impact on the local area, and particularly the proposed changes to the A660/A6120 Lawnswood Roundabout. 2. Specific issues raised by the Deputation were: a. Concern for additional delays, congestion, pollution and increased risk of traffic collisions at Lawnswood roundabout and other junctions along Otley Road; b. No proposals for a traffic-light controlled roundabout; c. Changes along the A660 bus corridor; d. Release of data and simulation models uses to support the scheme. 3.

This package features new and enhanced Park & Ride services, and authorised further work on the integrated bus measures along five key bus corridors and modernised transport hubs across the city previously identified when the programme was first approved.

  • The Leeds Trolley Vehicle System Order Business Case Leeds NGT: Business Case Review January 2014
    Transport and TWAO Document Ref. C-1 Works Act 1992 The Leeds Trolley Vehicle System Order Business Case Leeds NGT: Business Case Review January 2014 Leeds NGT – Business Case Review Executive Summary The Leeds New Generation Transport (NGT) project will be a 14.8km trolleybus network with lines to: I Holt Park (North Line) I Stourton (South Line) The scheme includes Park & Ride sites on the North Line at Bodington and at the South Line terminus at Stourton. NGT will provide a high quality, highly segregated, rapid transit service with high capacity, greater punctuality and faster journey times than bus services. It will significantly improve the quality of public transport in Leeds and provide an attractive alternative to private car travel. NGT is being jointly promoted by the West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (Metro) and Leeds City Council (LCC). It will open to passengers in early 2020. On award of Programme Entry to the NGT Project, DfT committed capital funding of £173.5 million towards the investment cost of the trolleybus solution as specified in the funding approval. The Promoters will contribute further to this. This document fulfils DfT’s requirements for a Business Case submission. It sets out NGT’s: I Strategic Case I Economic Case I Financial Case I Commercial Case I Management Case The Strategic Case sets out the scheme context and includes a description of the problems and issues which NGT will help to resolve. It sets out the scheme objectives and describes how the Preferred Option was developed. The Strategic Case demonstrates that NGT will make a strong contribution to meeting national, regional and local policy objectives.

  • The Case for Better Transport Investment: Agglomeration and Growth in the Leeds City Region
    The case for better transport investment: Agglomeration and growth in the Leeds City Region Adam Marshall and Chris Webber Summary • Trams, commuter rail services, better road junctions, more buses: every city has a long, and mostly unfulfilled, ‘wish list’ of major transport projects. But at a time when financial resources are limited,how can our cities and regions prioritise transport needs – and make intelligent investments that boost their economic competitiveness? • Using case studies in the Leeds City Region, this report shows the scale of the ‘hidden’ economic benefits – known as agglomeration benefits – that transport schemes can deliver in Britain’s major cities. Our new analysis shows that up to 25% of the potential benefits of major transport investments in Leeds currently go un-counted by the Department for Transport. Including these benefits in transport proposals and plans would make the case for investment in the Leeds City Region stronger than ever. • Adding up agglomeration benefits could also radically improve the economic case for transport investment in cities across the UK – especially when new schemes deliver faster and better access to job-rich city centres. The evidence presented in this report suggests that targeted improvements to urban transport networks could add tens of millions of pounds to a city’s economic ‘bottom line’ each year. • In the wake of the Eddington Transport Study, the Comprehensive Spending Review, and the Government’s renewed drive to improve regional economic performance, it is more critical than ever to count these ‘hidden’ benefits – and ensure that cities get the transport investment needed to fulfil their potential.

  • IAEG2006 Field Trip Guide Ripon 1 GYPSUM DISSOLUTION
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by NERC Open Research Archive IAEG2006 Field Trip Guide Ripon GYPSUM DISSOLUTION GEOHAZARDS AT RIPON, NORTH YORKSHIRE, UK Anthony H.Cooper1 1British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG, e-mail:[email protected] Abstract: This guide is for a one-day field excursion to examine gypsum dissolution geohazards at Ripon in North Yorkshire. Gypsum is a highly soluble rock and under suitable groundwater flow conditions it can dissolve forming caves and karstic features including collapse and suffosion dolines. These have the capability of causing subsidence damage of the type that affects much of the Ripon area. The guide details the processes involved, the localities visited and some of the remedial measures undertaken. Résumé: Ce guide concerne l'excursion d'une journée ayant pour but d'étudier les géo-aléas liés à la dissolution du gypse à Ripon dans la région du North Yorkshire. Le gypse est une roche hautement soluble et, dans des conditions adéquates d'écoulement de l'eau souterraine, pouvant se dissoudre et engendrer des grottes et formes karstiques telles qu'effondrements et dolines de suffosion. Celles-ci peuvent causer des dégâts de subsidence du type de ceux qui touchent la plupart des alentours de Ripon. Ce guide fournit des explications sur les phénomènes mis en jeu, les localités visitées et quelques-unes des mesures prises pour remédier à ces problèmes. Keywords: subsidence, evaporites, aquifers, cavities, collapse, urban geosciences. INTRODUCTION Gypsum, hydrated Calcium Sulphate (CaSO4.2H2O), is attractive as satin spar, beautiful as carved alabaster, practical as plasterboard (wallboard), but the cause of a geological hazard capable of swallowing houses and collapsing dams.
