Leeds MP Narrows Road Safety Gap

John Battle, Labour MP for Leeds West, took up the road safety problems on Henconner Lane, Greenhill, Leeds 13.

“A constituent contacted me after a five year-old boy was injured by a car on this road,” said Mr Battle. “I know that Greenhill Primary School have tried everything they can think of to recruit a new crossing guard after their lollipop lady retired, but they haven’t been able to. So it’s an urgent problem to tackle before another child is hurt, and I took it up with Leeds City Council’s Highways Department.

“I’m glad to say that they are going to build a road-narrowing point to slow down traffic and make it easier to cross. They will then run a study to decide what further measures are needed longer term.”
