Welcome back to Leeds.

Queue System

A queue system will be in place for pedestrian areas on main streets, pavements have been widened e.g. Boar Lane to enable social distancing etc. Businesses will be able to get FREE stickers from council- consistency of message key

Helpful Signage

Extensive signage, lamp-post flags, on-street markers and boards will direct people and remind shoppers re the core measures of stay safe.

Ambassadors

Queuing- businesses will look after their own queues plus, a team of 12 ‘ambassadors’ will help with queues on-street and support where queues get particularly large etc. They will liaise directly with the police and other town centre management teams to help people generally.

Reduced Traffic

Changing delivery times for commercial vehicles (i.e. reducing them) to remove the danger of delivery vans and queuing people coming together on pedestrian areas, so access will stop between 9.00am and 7pm (previously 10.30 – 6pm)

Cleaning Teams

LeedsBID Street Rangers & council cleaning teams will disinfect benches, handrails & other street furniture to ensure health & safety but enable people to use them too

Toilets

Open in most shopping centres & large stores and at Leeds Station.

Hand sanitiser

Hand sanitiser is available – think about bringing your own so it’s always at hand

Recycling

Bus routes

Bus operators will be back to 80-85% of ‘normal’ timetabled services but each bus will operate at a 20-25% occupation

Leeds bus station

Fully operational with social distancing measures in place to assist waiting passengers

Leeds Station

Fully operational with social distancing measures in place, clear signage and markers. Shops open at Leeds Station are: Boots, Evans Cycles, Pret, Sainsburys, Starbucks (North Concourse), WH Smith, William Hill.

Rail travel

Expected to be at 10% of capacity allowed with alternative seats taped off

Taxi services

There will be a supply of taxis (can be hailed or queue at a taxi rank) and private hire vehicles, but possibly not in the numbers you may have been used to in the past. If you are planning to travel by taxi or private hire it is best to contact your operator and pre-book, and check if they have any additional requirements, such as limits on the number of people per vehicle, and face coverings. This would be especially important if anyone from your group is a higher risk.

A number of taxi associations and private hire operators have fitted extra screens between the driver and passengers, and this may enhance your safety and risk of passing on or contracting Covid, but limits passengers to the back seats of vehicles.

Some operators and taxi associations require drivers and passengers to wear face coverings, and may decline to take you if you are not wearing a mask.

Temporary road/pavement measures

Some changes to the roads/pavements- Council’s temporary footway widening schemes to accommodate social distancing on Mill Hill, Call Lane, St Paul’s Street, Great George Street and New York street, Boar Lane.

Walking and cycling

Walking and cycling will be prioritised, with more cycle parking provided (locations tbc)
