Latest on Lawnswood

The latest weekly update on Lawnswood roundabout below, plus a couple of pics - one aerial of the work on site, and one a simplified 'landscaping drawing' showing where there will be planting once it's done - including a large London Plane tree in the centre of the roundabout.

This drawing is designed specifically to show planting, rather than e.g. the pedestrian crossing arrangements.

P.s. it was great to attend the West Park Residents Association AGM last night where a longer update was given. We meet monthly with the contractors and West Park residents to keep an eye on the work and discuss queries. The residents have hugely appreciated this, and even though there are mixed views on the project we are really pleased that the residents who live around the roundabout are being kept so actively in the loop. And the work is currently on schedule. It's how it should be.

The weekly update:

"In area 2 (roundabout centre) the traffic management has been altered so that there are 2 lanes of traffic.

In area 1 (outside Weetwood Hall) the Yorkshire Water diversions are complete. They are now working by the police station.

In area 9 on the southbound leg of the A660 Otley Road we are working on widening the central reserve and widening the carriageway for the new cycle lane."
