News on Alwoodley to Leeds route

We’re seeking views on proposals to improve bus journeys and junctions between Harrogate and Leeds via Alwoodley. Buses on the A61 between Leeds and Alwoodley face delays of up to 13 minutes. Our improvements could help to eradicate this, making buses more reliable and attractive.

We have contacted you as you have previous signed up to alerts on this scheme. We have updated our plans to improve bus service reliability for this route following public feedback we have received and additional analysis we have undertaken.

Our plans now include proposals for King Lane and Stonegate Road which did not form part of the original consultation.

The consultation also includes plans to build a Park and Ride facility at Alwoodley Gates.

Please take a few minutes to read these updated proposals. They show the latest improvements along this route, how these have changed in response to your feedback. You can also find an update on the bus lane proposals we consulted on during October 2018.

View our plans and feed back on them online or attend one of our drop-in events:

We are also planning improvements in Harewood to the A659 The Avenue junction. These proposals are available here .

Your feedback is needed please by the deadline of 15 March 2019 .
