Leaders of Leeds City Council “cautiously welcome” Rishi Sunak’s £2.5 billion pledge to deliver the city its own tram system.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced the Government will “reinvest every single penny” into projects across the North, after cutting plans to extend the HS2 train link north of Birmingham. Mr Sunak estimated the savings would be around £36 billion and said that £2.5 billion would be used to deliver a new tram system in Leeds alongside a number of other schemes in Yorkshire.
A wider West Yorkshire mass transit network has been in the planning stages for years and is seen as central to Mayor Tracy Brabin’s plans for the region to become a net-zero carbon economy by 2038, but has faced criticism of late after plans revealed it won’t be “Leeds centric”.
