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.
Mary Spencer, from Hunslet, says works have been ongoing since September this year to build a two-way cycle lane on Church Street. Mary, who has mobility issues and uses a walking stick, says the roadworks have made it 'impossible' for her to cross the road in front of her home.
While the works are ongoing, a barrier is up along the stretch of road in front of Mary's house and temporary traffic lights are in place. Mary says she currently can't cross the road to get to the GP surgery she lives opposite due to the kerb being too high and the road too busy, and has to drive to get to the surgery she can see from her window.
