Armley Gyratory Frequently Asked Questions Armley Gyratory Frequently Asked Questions Connecting Leeds and West Yorkshire Combined Authority have been working in partnership to develop proposals to improve Armley Gyratory, a busy roundabout to the west of Leeds city centre. This document aims to answer some frequently asked questions about the proposals, to provide further insight into the design and consultation process. If you have any further questions that are not covered in this document, please contact us at [email protected]. The scheme 1. What is the Armley Gyratory? Armley Gyratory is an extremely busy signalised roundabout to the west of Leeds city centre. It acts as a major entry/ exit point for traffic as a key junction on the A58 (M) Leeds Inner Ring Road. 2. What is Connecting Leeds? Connecting Leeds is part of Leeds City Council and aims to transform travel in Leeds for those that live, work and study in or visit the city. Connecting Leeds is delivering a range of city-wide transport improvements, aiming to support the development, growth and success of the city of Leeds. Leeds City Council has produced a draft Connecting Leeds Transport Strategy, which sets out the council’s vision for a city where you don’t need a car, where everyone has an affordable zero carbon choice in how they travel. This will help to deliver an integrated transport network within a city that is well-connected, healthy and ambitious. The improvements to Armley Gyratory are a key component of the Connecting Leeds ambition. 3. How is the Armley Gyratory improvements scheme linked to other transport projects being undertaken by Leeds City Council? Armley Gyratory is funded by the West Yorkshire- plus Transport Fund City Centre Package. This Package is funding a range of schemes within the centre of Leeds to facilitate city-wide transport improvements. Armley Gyratory is an important component of the Package, and will enable the delivery of other projects to improve the city’s public realm and events spaces, as well as public transport and active travel schemes in the city centre, including at City Square, in line with the council’s health, climate and inclusive growth goals. 4. What are the aims of the scheme? The aims of the scheme are to: provide pedestrians and cyclists with more appealing and accessible routes around the gyratory; increase safety for all road users; improve the operation of the junction, allowing traffic to flow more freely, which will minimise traffic impacts on local roads; improve the local environment through new landscaping; and facilitate improvements elsewhere in the city, including at City Square, by creating capacity for traffic displaced from those locations. The design 5. Why are the improvements to Armley Gyratory necessary? The improvements are necessary to allow traffic to flow more freely at the gyratory, as the junction currently experiences large queues of traffic at peak times, causing delays for motorists and bus users. They will also address concerns raised through previous public consultation, which has highlighted concerns about the safety of the junction. The current pedestrian and cycle facilities at Armley Gyratory are substandard and inaccessible to some users, reducing the likelihood of local residents travelling into the centre by foot or bike. The scheme will improve the ease and safety of travel for pedestrians and cyclists, promoting sustainable transport choices. In addition, they will enable other city-wide improvement schemes, by creating capacity for traffic displaced from other locations. 6. Why has the design changed? Since the previous rounds of consultation, the design has been updated. The changes have been made following a review of forecasted growth and changes in journey patterns; a review of the impact of other schemes planned in the city centre and across the wider Leeds network; and as a result of changes in the funding available for the scheme. Although the design has changed, the proposals still take on board previous feedback, and aim to retain and enhance some of the key features that were most supported in previous consultation. This includes new landscaping, new and improved traffic lights, and improvements to pedestrian and cycle routes and crossings. Feedback has also been responded to by including improvements to safety and upgraded and enhanced connections to pedestrian and cycling links in the new design, which will also allow traffic to flow more freely Ground investigations have also been undertaken since previous rounds of consultation and have informed the updated design. 7. How has the design changed? The main design changes include the removal of the cut-through road and pedestrian/cycle route across the central island. This route has been replaced with localised widening on the existing circulatory carriageway and upgrades to the pedestrian facilities on the eastern side of the gyratory. The new proposed layout means a slightly quicker route for cyclists travelling between the city centre and New Wortley relative to the previous layout, since there are fewer signal-controlled crossings to use. Although it is slightly slower for pedestrians when the ramps are used than the previous layout, those that are able to use stairs will benefit from similar journey times relative to the previous layout. Additionally, due to the reduced impact on the central island, the new design will preserve more trees than the previous iteration. 8. What assessments have been undertaken to inform the design? A Transport Assessment has been carried out and will be submitted alongside the planning application. This provided baseline data on current traffic flows through the junction and analysed how this would change as a result of the proposals. Traffic counts were undertaken and signalling and collision data was reviewed to help inform the design proposals. The proposals were modelled using traffic data from Leeds City Council’s Strategic Transport model and City Centre AIMSUN model (a traffic-simulator software used to model urban transport networks). Ground investigations have also been undertaken since previous rounds of consultation and have informed the updated design. Noise and Air Quality Assessments will also be completed to support the planning process. 9. How much will the scheme cost? The scheme will cost £40.5 million, funded by the West Yorkshire- plus Transport Fund City Centre Package. Benefits of the scheme 10. What benefits will there be for local residents? Local residents will benefit from the improvements to junction safety, operation and ease of travel. For example, improvements to the gyratory will promote the use of more strategic routes and lessen the impacts of traffic on local roads. The scheme will improve the pedestrian and cycle facilities at the junction to encourage the wider use of active transport into and around the city centre. New landscaping will create green pedestrian links while providing increased visibility between different road users, helping enhance the personal security of pedestrians and cyclists and minimise antisocial behaviour. In addition, the proposed drainage system will look to address the issues of flooding at A58 Wellington Road North under the railway bridge. 11. How will the updated design impact traffic flow at the junction? The scheme will allow traffic to flow more freely, with improved signalling (e.g. new traffic lights at the junction with Gelderd Road and at the entrance from A643 Ingram Road Distributor) and altered timings of the traffic lights. Widening and realignment of the existing carriageway will also increase the junction’s capacity, helping to create capacity for traffic displaced from elsewhere in the city. 12. How does the design improve the safety of the junction for motorists? A key aspect of the improvements is the introduction of traffic lights at the junction with Gelderd Road, and a new signal-controlled junction on the entrance from Wellington RoaZ. These new lights will make it easier and safer to enter the gyratory (the current approach is a give-way junction). In addition, the timings of the lights at the gyratory will be amended, aiming to discourage drivers from running red lights. 13. How does the design improve the safety of the junction for pedestrians and cyclists? A signal-controlled pedestrian and cycle crossing across B6159 Wellington Road will be introduced to provide a safe, continuous and accessible route for pedestrians and cyclists around the gyratory. Cycling routes will be connected to existing routes, making it safer and easier to navigate the junction, and landscaping will increase the visibility of pedestrians and cyclists to other road users, improving their personal security whilst travelling. Post-construction monitoring to assess road safety at the junction will also be undertaken. 14. How will cycling and walking routes at the gyratory be improved? Existing pedestrian routes will be upgraded to modern standards and made safer, more pleasant and more accessible with new landscaping and footpath widening. New cycle routes will be introduced and connected to existing routes, making them easier and safer to travel by bicycle. The new proposed layout means there is a slightly quicker route for cyclists travelling between the city centre and New Wortley relative to the previous layout, since there are fewer signal-controlled crossings to use. Additionally, existing footbridges over the A643 and A58 will be replaced with dedicated, accessible pedestrian and cycle bridges. This will improve accessibility and safely accommodate both pedestrians and cyclists by using shallower ramp gradients. Environment 15. How will the improvements scheme meet wider sustainability goals? Improvements to pedestrian and cycling facilities at the junction will help to achieve Connecting Leeds’ wider vision of establishing an active and green city, with further opportunities for active transport. Improvements to pedestrian and cycling links around the junction will encourage local communities to travel to the centre via foot or bike and will therefore help to meet the council’s sustainable transport goals.

DESCRIPTORS Adult Basic Education; *Correctional Education; *Correctional Institutions; Correctional Rehabilitation; Criminals; *Educational History; Foreign Countries; Postsecondary Education; Prisoners; Prison Libraries; Rehabilitation Programs; Secondary Education; Vocational Rehabilitation IDENTIFIERS *England; *Wales ABSTRACT In response to prison disturbances in England and Wales in the late 1980s, the education program for prisoners was improved and more prisoners were given access to educational services. Although education is a relatively new phenomenon in the English and Welsh penal system, by the 20th century, education had become an integral part of prison life. It served partly as a control mechanism and partly for more altruistic needs. Until 1993 the management and delivery of education and training in prisons was carried out by local education authority staff. Since that time, the education responsibility has been contracted out to organizations such as the Staff College, other universities, and private training organizations. Various policy implications were resolved in order to allow these organizations to provide prison education. Today, prison education programs are probably the most comprehensive of any found in the country. They may range from literacy education to postgraduate study, with students ranging in age from 15 to over 65. The curriculum focuses on social and life skills.

  • Appendix A: Leeds City Region Growth Fund Deal Sheet
    APPENDIX A: LEEDS CITY REGION GROWTH FUND DEAL SHEET 1 2 INTRODUCTION We are pleased to provide this outline summary of the 2015-16 deliverable priority projects and programmes that we have included in the Leeds City Region SEP for funding through the Local Growth Fund (LGF). We see the LGF being the opportunity for Government to co-invest with us to deliver our economic and growth ambitions. The identification of these projects is the culmination of at least 6-9 months appraisal processes (over 2 years in the case of the West Yorkshire Plus Transport Fund) where we have applied significant rigour to reduce the range of projects from very long ‘wish lists’ to a focussed number of specific and deliverable projects across transport, innovation, skills, resource smart, housing and regeneration. This has included, for example, applying a Department for Transport approved modelling process for Transport Projects, and the five cases Treasury Green Book compliant approach to the appraisal of our housing and regeneration schemes. We have provided more detailed business cases within the accompanying appendices as requested for each deliverable project, which has included financial and economic appraisal output tables and risk assessments. Projects have been assessed and subsequently re-assessed for deliverability, economic impact and strategic fit in partnership with all City Region authorities and other project sponsors and co-investors. The resultant shortlist of projects and programmes for 2015/16 set out in our SEP and summarised here therefore has both political endorsement across the City Region partnership including the LEP Board. The LEP Board is therefore confident that the projects and programmes it is submitting in this SEP submission are both viable and deliverable, and offer value for money and will have a major strategic impact on city regional and UK growth.

  • St Bartholomew's Church, Armley
    ST BARTHOLOMEW'S CHURCH, ARMLEY by C.R.A. Davies photographs THE SCHULZE ORGAN RESTORED BY HARRISON & HARRISON ST BARTHOLOMEW'S CHURCH, ARMLEY The organ was built in 1869 by J.F. Schulze & Sons of Paulinzelle, Germany, for T.S. Kennedy of Meanwood Towers, Leeds. A special wood-framed organ house, large enough for some 800 people, was built to accommodate it. In 1877 the organ was loaned to St Peter's Church Harrogate, and in 1879 it was installed by Brindley & Foster in the north transept of St Bartholomew's Church, with two additional Pedal stops (1 and 3) supplied by Schulze. The case of American walnut was made at this time. In 1905 the organ was rebuilt by J.J. Binns of Bramley, Leeds. Binns was a strong admirer of Schulze's work, and aimed to preserve the organ's musical character. He installed his patent pneumatic action and a new console, but retained the original pipework*, slider soundboards and much of the wind system. The only significant change since then was the removal of Binns's combination action in 1976. In 2004 the organ was comprehensively restored to its 1905 state, but with two alterations. First, the Choir and Echo Organs, which were placed low down at the back of the instrument, have been raised to the same level as the Great Organ so that their gentle sounds can be heard more clearly. Secondly, the 1976 piston system has been replaced by a modern setter system, unobtrusively installed together with electro-pneumatic drawstop mechanism on traditional lines.

  • One Nation: Power, Hope, Community
    one nation power hope community power hope community Ed Miliband has set out his vision of One Nation: a country where everyone has a stake, prosperity is fairly shared, and we make a common life together. A group of Labour MPs, elected in 2010 and after, describe what this politics of national renewal means to them. It begins in the everyday life of work, family and local place. It is about the importance of having a sense of belonging and community, and sharing power and responsibility with people. It means reforming the state and the market in order to rebuild the economy, share power hope community prosperity, and end the living standards crisis. And it means doing politics in a different way: bottom up not top down, organising not managing. A new generation is changing Labour to change the country.
