Great response, more wanted We have had over 6,000 contributions to this consultation and there is still a little time in which to have your say.Reminder that consultation on these proposals closes on 3rd August so please make sure you have submitted all the feedback you want to provide by this date and shared the sites and this Newsletter. After the consultation closes we will be working hard to collate and analyse all the feedback provided. A report will be published in due course summarising the results and how people feel about the proposals. All the feedback we have received will inform any ongoing work on each of the proposals. What happens nextOver the next 12 months the proposals for the different locations are likely to progress at different speeds with some moving more quickly towards a preferred solution with more detailed designs. This is because the funding available from the Department for Transport for this scheme must be spent by the end of March 2021. There are also logistical and practical challenges and Leeds City Council need to ensure any construction work is phased across the city.The proposals for most locations will be subject to further rounds of consultation on more detailed proposals. Construction on some schemes may begin in early 2019. We will let you know when there is further information available.Please help us with this final push:<li>Share this News item with you social media friends via Facebook or Twitter using the buttons below.</li> <li>Add comments on any of the consultations - you can reach them all <a href="https://leedstransport.commonplace.is/">by clicking here and going to the consultation home page</a> .</li> <li>Review existing comments on the consultation websites and share those that you think are significant to your neighbours and friends.</li>
