Can you help? + An example of what we are up against!

Help? - We have already identified other areas in Leeds where measures have been put in place to address some of the traffic issues that we face. If you are aware of any recent traffic or road safety alterations anywhere, not just in Leeds, that may have been put in place to improve life for the local community, ie 'people before traffic', and can provide a little bit of detail then drop us an email, and this of course includes HGV bans .......

HGV bans on A-class roads - Some years ago at a meeting with a senior, council highways department officer, in a local pub, the matter of HGV bans was raised, the officer, new to the post, stated that the council could not consider an HGV bans on the A639 because an HGV ban on an A-class road would set an unworkable precedent ... it was pointed out to him that he was sat less than 100yards away from the A642, an A-class road with an HGV ban! This is the same officer who has gone on to state that he (personal opinion) does not believe that any A-class roads in Leeds should have HGV bans ... there are dozens of them! If you can identify any in and around Leeds please let us know, we won't have got them all.
