Trams would run between Leeds and Bradford, with £1m set aside for Kirklees
The Mayor of West Yorkshire has unveiled “once in a lifetime” proposals for a mass transit system, which would see trams running between Leeds and Bradford and £1m set aside for a Kirklees line.
It is hoped that spades will be in the ground in 2028 when construction of the early stage of the project will begin. "This will be transformational for the North, helping our communities to thrive and our economy to flourish - benefitting generations to come with greater opportunity and prosperity. The submission of the Combined Authority’s "strategic outline case" document to the Department for Transport is set to be approved by members of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority on March 14. The document will then be sent by the Mayor to the government for approval to continue with the development of the scheme.Today’s announcement does not pre-empt the exact route, which will be subject to full public consultation.
Leader of Bradford Council Susan Hinchcliffe said: “West Yorkshire is currently the biggest region in the country without a mass transit system. These tram proposals are part of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for comprehensive new transport links, which will undoubtedly enhance people’s lives.
