Leeds City Council is working on an area action plan for the West Leeds Gateway area, which covers Armley, Lower Wortley, Upper Wortley, New Wortley and the Heights. The plan, which is being prepared in consultation with local communities, businesses and organisations, will guide regeneration and development over the next 15-20 years.
Previous consultation – issues and options – Autumn 2006
A public consultation on the issues and options for West Leeds Gateway was undertaken during November/December 2006. Three alternative options were considered: minor change, moderate change and major change.
Preferred options consultation
From the consultation undertaken at the issues and options stage it is clear that there is little support for major change in the area and that the area is valued as a place to live and work by local residents and businesses. It was also apparent that the minor option would not produce the changes needed to take the Gateway forward to a viable long term future. In view of this the Preferred Options have been developed based on the medium change option. The Preferred Option concentrates on seven strategic themes and seven character areas.
The consultation closed on 8 April 2008
