DYNELEY ARMS JUNCTION IMPROVEMENT WORKS
OVERNIGHT ROAD CLOSURES FOR CARRIAGEWAY RESURFACING
We wish to notify you of overnight highway surfacing works at the Dyneley Arms Junction for six nights (excluding weekends) commencing from Monday 10th July to Monday 17th July between the hours of 8:00pm and 5:30am.
Due to the high volume of traffic in the vicinity of the junction during the day and the need for road closures, this work can only be carried out safely overnight.

A658 Pool Bank New Road will be closed at both sides of the A660 Leeds Road and signed diversion routes will be in place. A660 Leeds Road will remain open to through traffic. Details of the diversion routes can be found on the Diversion Map. The footpaths will remain open.
We have programmed highway works to be constructed during the day wherever possible and apologise in advance for any disruption caused and request your cooperation and understanding.

There will be some noise associated with the Works, however the Contractor will be endeavouring to complete the noisiest operations as early as possible.
Should you have any queries or complaints arising as a direct consequence of these Works, please contact us by e-mail connectingleeds@leeds.gov.uk or 0113 336 8868

Are you ready to Foil in Love with Recycling?! Last year Leeds residents recycled 128 tonnes of aluminium foil, which would save enough power to light up all the homes in Leeds for over 3 days! Sadly, 10 times that amount of foil – 1,292 tonnes to be precise – was put into black rubbish bins in Leeds last year. If this had been recycled, it would have saved enough power to light up all the homes in Leeds for over a month! We love aluminium foil! From kitchen foil to pie cases, take-away containers to roast meat trays. All these can be recycled endlessly… infinitely… forever…! Just rinse off any chunky bits of food first and pop it into your green bin! Visit www.leeds.gov.uk/foil for more info on how to Foil in Love with Recycling, or follow us on Facebook or Twitter for handy recycling tips. Happy recycling ?

A Leeds City Council  consultation regarding the proposed School Streets scheme as part of the Bramhope Primary School expansion is now open.

Bramhope Primary School Streets Residents Consultation (leeds.gov.uk)

Introduction

Leeds City Council and Bramhope Primary School are considering the possibility of installing a ‘School Street’ outside Bramhope Primary School initially as a trial of up to 18 months

Leeds City Council would like to know what residents think about this.

‘School Streets’ are where motorised traffic is restricted on specific roads around schools during drop-off and pick-up times.  The aim is to create a more pleasant environment outside school, where walking, cycling and scooting to school feel safer and more enjoyable. They may also help to improve road safety, air quality and reduce congestion.

To establish a School Street for Bramhope Primary School, motorised traffic would be restricted on Breary Rise for short periods of time in the morning (approx. 8:15 am – 9:00 am) and afternoon (2:45 pm – 3:30 pm). Vehicles would not be able to enter Breary Rise from Breary Lane. There would be some exemptions including residents and businesses located within the School Street, Emergency Vehicles, Blue Badge holders and liveried delivery vehicles.

Families who currently drop-off or pick-up and park in this area would instead need to walk, scoot or cycle to school or park somewhere else.

The intention is to launch the scheme in the new school year. However ahead of this, the council will undertake a series of steps to ensure the scheme is supported prior to implementation:

Parent and Guardian Consultation
Residents’ Consultation
Enabling works including Traffic Regulation Orders

Instructions

It should take you about 5 minutes to answer all the questions. The last day that you can respond is Sunday 25th June

If you need to speak to someone about this survey then please email schoolstreets@leeds.gov.uk

Notification has been received that there will be a road closure of Old Lane, Bramhope, Leeds in the Adel & Wharfedale Ward, between its junctions with Church Hill and Harrogate Road. Details below.

DIVERSIONARY ROUTE: A diversionary route for vehicles affected by the closure will be available via: Church Hill, A660 Leeds Road, A658 Harrogate Road, Old Lane, Vice Versa Essential access to and from premises and for emergency vehicles will be maintained.

PERIOD OF WORKS/RESTRICTIONS: The works are to take place from Wednesday 19th July 2023 to Thursday 20th July 2023. The closure will be in place between 08:00 and 17:00hrs on each day.

Following the information LCC have provided regarding BT working on upcoming Sundays, the below is the current proposed timetable for the Dyneley Arms junction:

• BT Openreach working provisionally Mon-Fri (12^th June to 7^th July) during the day on jointing works and cable changeovers, and on 4 Sundays (11^th June – 2^nd July) to undertake the required outages to switch over cables. Sunday the 9^th has also been reserved as a contingency.
• From Monday 10^th July daytime, Colas will start to complete the civils elements that require BT completion first. If BT complete on the 2^nd July, these works will be brought forward to the w/c Monday 3^rd July.
• From Monday 10^th July nighttime, Colas will start to undertake the surfacing works and lining. This has been programmed for 6 nights (Mon 10^th – Fri 14^th + Mon 17^th July).
• From Monday 17^th July UTC/Telent will be undertaking the loop cutting and commissioning the signals.

The aim is to have the completed junction up and running prior to the closure of Harewood Bridge on 26^th July, when the A658 will become part of a diversion route around the closure.

This is all subject to BT completing their works on programme, as we cannot complete our surfacing works without the abandonment and removal of their existing cabinet/chamber in the new uphill left-hand turning approach lane on the A658.

Additional signs have been placed out notifying road users of the Sunday working and the Council will have a site presence on these Sundays in order to oversee the traffic management arrangements.

Signs notifying the overnight surfacing work will also be placed out in advance, and there will be a communications through Connecting Leeds. There will be closures on both arms of the A658 whilst the overnight surfacing is ongoing and diversion routes will be in operation.
