We are finalising the Transport Strategy incorporating the feedback you gave us during consultation at the start of 2021.
It is planned to be presented to Leeds City Council Executive Board for adopting during the autumn 2021.
Ahead of adopting the strategy and action plan, we have undertaken a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the plans to assess their likely impact.
We are welcoming comments on the SEA until Wednesday 22 September 2021.
The documents and technical appendices are available here to view.
