For Mrs O

[MrsORichSenior_]

perfect Hopey.
alongside helping the clubs pl report it will also be sent for the likes of elected Headingley councillor Jonathan Pryor the Deputy Leader of LCC and member for Economy, Transport and Sustainable Development who is a key regarding the ER redevelopment, its economic impact and the surrounding infrastructure of it. also ideal fao Angela Barnicle at City Development for her LCC remit for overseeing all regeneration work, planning and asset management.

a good soundbite for the eyes of LCC Council Highways department as well who are currently taking on board extensive discussions regarding traffic, logistics and Section 106 agreements for that areas specific transport infrastructure presently and for the future.
a great idea you mentioned to place simple signs for city centre directions outside ground which also is certainly not great for safe parking presently particularly women with young kids in tow around LS11 on match day.
i will also add it into the LUFC mail bag for their Fan Engagement team observation and will certainly give the clubs Supporters Advisory Board focus to articulate their concerns on.

thank you for your time and valued observations.

must be over 10000 steps for the 8km walk from city station to ER and back so I hope you had decent trainers on.

No worries at all and thankfully I like walking and try to average 12 per day 😎

That should have been 12k!!!!

I am watching this develop from afar so I have no first hand knowledge.

However, one thing that's obvious in almost any big club in any big sport is that developing venues as a centerpiece of a city tends to really work out well for the club as well as city. It attracts other ventures, businesses, customers and most important interest which is not easy to do in a world with so many other options for people's time and money.

Leeds is even more of a natural to do this since they are one of the few big cities that only has one club.

Part of the charm of WR is its remote location - it’s one of the first landmarks you see too if you come into Leeds by train.

However, from a connection to the city centre is not great not sure what it’s PTAL rating is (UK measure of transport and accessibility) but suspect it is low.

Have a look out for the Holborn Viaduct project - if that can be delivered it would be huge for the club but massive for the local community.

It’s fair to say that LS11 isn’t the fanciest of LS addresses and so has been under loved in terms of connections for years. It tend to have light industrial, car show rooms and logistics as it’s all close to motorway networks the M621 being very close to the ground.

That said in the 1960s we used to get over 60k in the ground so anything g is possible.
