Mary Spencer, who lives in Hunslet, says the works make it impossible for her to cross the road due to her mobility issues
A Leeds woman has said she feels trapped in her own home because of roadworks happening on the street where she lives that will see a cycle lane installed.
"The kerb is much too high for me at the moment - it makes it impossible for me to cross. For anyone elderly or in a wheelchair, they would have no access. Leeds City Council notified residents such as Mary about the scheme, and there was a consultation period. Mary says she raised her concerns that the cycle lane would make crossing hard and her property difficult to access then.
"I don't understand why the cycle lane is on this side of the road when no one lives on the other side," Mary added.
