Morley Hub

West Yorkshire Combined Authority, in partnership with Leeds City Council, proposed a scheme to deliver improvements to transport facilities, information and infrastructure in Morley.

Phase 1 of this scheme resulted in the installation of a Hub Totem and improved wayfinder signage between the Morley town centre and rail station. Following this, consultation on Phase 2 of the scheme occured between 1 August and 9 September 2016.

Phase 2 consultation: 1 August - 9 September 2016

The key aims of the scheme are to: 

• Improve the interchange and pedestrian access to and from bus services
• Address perceived pedestrian safety issues
• Improve the operating environment for bus services
• Improve the road environment for all users

To achieve these objectives we are proposing the following:

• Changes to the existing traffic flow:
  - Queen Street – making it one way from Queensway to Wellington Street
  - Wellington Street (cobbled section) – making it one way from Queen Street, reversing the existing flow
• All existing bus stops to be located on one side of Queen Street and Albion Street
• Bus services to common destinations to be allocated to same or adjacent bus stops
• Relocate on-street parking to one side of Queen Street and Wellington Street
• Revision of existing parking restrictions to accommodate new highways arrangements
• Improvements to crossing points and waiting areas for pedestrians
• Provision of a dedicated loading bay on Queen Street
• Car Club parking bay provision on Wellington Street

A complementary scheme involving public realm improvement between the Town Hall and Morrisons is also being developed for the future.
