The Mayor of West Yorkshire, Tracy Brabin, has promised Leeds will get a tram system within the next 10 years.
Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds, Mayor Brabin said we will see "spades in the ground" for a mass transit system in the city before the end of her time as mayor. Leeds is the biggest city in all of Western Europe without a mass transit system.
Over the years proposals for a tram network have come and gone. In 2021, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced Leeds would receive £200m of 'immediate funding' to plan and build a mass transit system.
