Slow traffic lights

31st January

There is a huge backlog of traffic getting on roundabout on the right lane. This is due to the traffic lights changing far too quickly. The backlog is onto the M1 even during non peak periods

Parking on school street

9th January

There are signs on this road where my son attends school that say no stopping 8AM - 6PM The school has requested all parents do not park on the road due to the ice and snow. The road does not get any sunlight this time of year. Council staff will sometimes be in the road, maybe once a month enforcing the rules but this is not good enough. This parking puts the children who attend Wrenthorpe academy at risk. Furthermore hundreds of children who attend outwood Grange walk past the end of this road also putting them at risk. The school say they have reported this to the police and council but the actions taken are not good enough. Can we have zigzags on this road to prevent it in future? The only cars that are allowed during this time are for parents of children with disabilities.

Yellow box extension please

5th January

Since the new roundabout development the traffic on a morning & evening backs up towards Outwood. This means turning left to get across the two lanes becomes very difficult as people will not let you out as then want to get through the lights. Although there is a yellow box on the road this is to support cars driving into Newton Close. I was wondering if its possible to extend the box to help it become safer getting out of Newton Close, especially for people who need to be in the right lane on approach to the roundabout. Thank you.

Yellow box on Leeds Road bottom of Newton Close

The yellow box is faded so needs re doing but also needs to be made bigger to allow ingress and egress. Since the traffic lights were put up at new Newton hill roundabout a year ago it is near in impossible to get out of Newton Close onto Leeds Road.

Cars parking illegally on the bus stop outside Lofthouse Gate School.

26th November

Cars are parking on the bus stop over the road from Lofthouse gate between approx 8:30am - 8:50am and 14:50pm - 15:20pm (school run) each day. This is causing issues for other cars as the road is reduced to one lane. Cars arriving at the junction from Baker Lane, can't see anything as the cars parked on the bus stop are creating a dangerous blind spot. This then becomes a dangerous place for families and their children who are often trying to cross the road between the illegally parked cars, emerging onto the road from these blind spots. It's only a matter of time that somebody is going to get hurt or worse.

Safety issue with traffic lights as you exit the M62 westbound at Lofthouse Interchange

4th November

Safety issue with traffic lights as you exit the M62 westbound at Lofthouse Interchange to join M1 to Leeds. As you come off the sliproad heading to Leeds M1, there is a roundabout controlled by traffic lights. The traffic signal that controls the entry to the roundabout has either been knocked, or has lost the light shield. As a result, when sitting on the slip waiting to join the roundabout (at a red light), the green light for the traffic on the roundabout is clearly visible, and so could cause confusion. With just a glance, a driver could wrongly enter the roundabout thinking it was green.
