Lane closures are now in place on the Ring Road between the A65 Horsforth roundabout and the Rodley Roundabout to facilitate the first phase of the Connecting West Leeds scheme to widen the carriageway, improve the footways and install a new cycleway.

This reduction in capacity leaves one lane open for Horsforth (north)bound traffic and one lane for Rodley (south)bound traffic.

The traffic management will remain in place for the full duration of this first phase which is expected to be completed in October.

The length of the lane closures will be reduced for the 2^nd and 3^rd phases of the scheme and further information will be sent by LCC about this nearer the time.

This is a highly traffic sensitive route so significant disruption should be expected, especially during the peak hours

You can recycle your glass in your green recycling bin from 1st August

This includes all colours of glass and means that wine and spirit bottles, beer bottles, olive oil bottles, jam jars, pasta sauce jars, coffee jars and even the jar of the spread people either love or hate can be conveniently put in your green recycling bin.

Here’s our guide to recycling glass in Leeds:

• You can leave the caps, lids and labels on.
• It’s easy to get started! Get a box, bag or another bin for the recycling, it’s whatever works for you. When its full, empty it into your green bin. Top tip, cardboard wine carriers are good for storing bottles and jars neatly for recycling.
• Just bottles and jars, please! Other things like oven-proof dishes, light bulbs, window or drinking glass do not melt at the same temperature as recyclable bottles and jars so should be put in the black bin.
• Worried about how clean your recycling has to be? It’s easy, just make sure there’s no food chunks on the jars and no more than drips in the bottles!
• Your local bottle banks will remain in place, just in case you need a little more space to recycle your glass!

The project team would like to invite you to a public meeting, at which an update will be given on the latest design, and the next steps for the Lawnswood Roundabout Improvement Scheme. The meeting will take place in the Cookridge Suite at Weetwood Hall Estate, 18 July 2024, 6:30pm-8:00pm. Starting at 7pm, there will be a presentation and then question and answer session.

Between November 2021 and January 2022, Leeds City Council consulted on plans to improve Lawnswood roundabout. The plans included introducing traffic signals at the roundabout, alongside signalised crossing facilities for pedestrians and cyclists, and new segregated cycle tracks. The plans are designed to improve road safety for all users, provide safer and more attractive facilities for walking and cycling, and facilitate the prioritisation of buses.

Since this consultation, Leeds City Council has continued to develop the scheme, securing approval of an Outline Business Case in December 2023. A Full Business Case is currently undergoing appraisal by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority. Subject to the relevant approvals being received, the main construction works are expected to begin in January 2025.
