A new plan for Leeds city centre to rid itself of a car-focused past has been revealed by Leeds City Council transport chiefs.

The “people-centric” plans for improving the city centre include pedestrianising City Square, close to the railway station, and a redesign of Armley Gyratory.

The report claimed these schemes could act as the biggest change to the city centre’s road network since the pedestrianisation of Briggate in the 1990s.

The large motorway infrastructure projects built in Leeds during the 1970s have led to climate issues, disconnected neighbourhoods and a lack of investment, the council document claims.

Leeds adopted its “motorway city” strategy in the 1960s, as city leaders wanted to capitalise on the boom in car ownership and the building of the nearby M1 and M62 motorways.

However, the report claims this led to the construction of the M621 in 1972 and did not benefit the city in the long term.

Council officers will seek approval to close City Square to traffic as part of £78m city centre improvements and to redesign Armley Gyratory (at a cost about £40m), at an executive board meeting next week.

The gyratory upgrade is also expected to improve cycle links, landscaping and walkways.

Work on both schemes is expected to be completed in December 2022, the report adds.

Former Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder says he is "enjoying a period of reflection" before "deciding what's next".

Chloe Gorman says she was left to cope alone during the pandemic due to her social worker being off sick.
