Leeds City Square’s planned revamp could prove to be the “jewel in the crown” of the city in a jubilee year, according to a senior civil servant.
Around £15m is expected to be spent on works to double the size of the space, which will include closing the roads to general traffic, giving priority to public transport, pedestrians and cyclists.
A report into work on the Leeds City Centre Package, stated work would also involve converting East Parade and King Street into a two-way street with bus stops, as well as introducing signals at Globe Road and Westgate.
