Road Closures in Scholes and Buses.

Thank you for your enquiry regarding the upcoming gas works in Scholes and the associated impact on local bus services.

 

We can confirm that, when the works commence next week, the number 11 bus service will continue to operate through the village. The road closure will only affect one direction of travel, towards Cross Gates. Services travelling towards Seacroft and Leeds city centre will continue to follow the normal route.

 

For journeys towards Scholes and Cross Gates, buses will divert from Seacroft Centre via the ELOR orbital road, then onto Leeds Road and into Scholes via the Coronation Tree. The service will then return down the ELOR link road and re-join the normal route towards John Smeaton.

 

Passengers are advised to use the same side of the road for both directions of travel and to check the destination displayed on the bus before boarding.

We have attached the diversion plan and press release for your information. In addition to the press release, advanced warning signs have been in place for the past three weeks, and letters have been issued to all residents and properties directly affected by the works.

We have also provided updates to local media outlets and published information on our website to help keep the wider community informed. Our Customer Care Officer has also carried out, door-to-door visits across the affected area to ensure residents are aware of the works and the arrangements in place.

 

We would be grateful if this information could be shared with anyone who may not have access to the internet.
