We’ve seen a huge change in our country over the past couple of weeks with the election of a new government. I’ve already met our new Prime Minister and made it clear that I stand ready to deliver on his missions for our country.
Central to those missions is the need to achieve economic growth. That’s something I’ve already started to deliver during my first term as Mayor of West Yorkshire, but we need to go further to unlock our region’s potential. We have a huge opportunity to improve people’s lives – and boost economic growth – by improving our transport system and building a better-connected region.
Your feedback will help us identify benefits and issues, improve our proposals and help us decide which options go forward to create a Leeds Line and a Bradford Line. Once the Bradford Line and Leeds Line preferred routes are identified, we will hold further consultations next year to show you the plans for the preferred routes in more detail, including stop locations. I have committed to spades in the ground by 2028 and we will be laser focused on that deadline.
