Rishi Sunak’s reference to West Yorkshire’s planned mass transit system as the “Leeds tram” has been described as “annoying.”
West Yorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin said the Prime Minister’s wording – linking the transport system solely to Leeds – was frustrating after years of the scheme being promoted as something that would benefit all towns and cities in West Yorkshire. Although the plans are only in the early stages, the mass transit system is expected to include routes linking Bradford to Leeds and Bradford to Dewsbury, as well as stops in areas like Holme Wood.
” She said more money needed to be released for the project in 2027 to deliver the project “as soon as possible.” Bradford Council Leader Susan Hinchcliffe, head of the Transport Committee on the Combined Authority, said: “This is a long term project, but will be hugely transformational stuff. It is not just about getting from A to B, it is about how it can transform the places around the stops, helping economic activity and housing.
