Metro want Leeds College of Art land for Trolleybus
by Bill
We learnt at last Thursday’s plans panel, that Metro want to compulsorily purchase land from Leeds College of Art, leaving the college very little outdoor space. In addition, the pavements outside the college would be narrowed, and access to the college’s car park would be restricted.
Unlike Leeds University, which appears to have been consulted about the trolleybus scheme since day one, the College of Art only found out about the scheme very recently, from a former student who is involved in the campaign to stop the trolleybus.
The story was covered in an article by Paul Robinson in today’s edition of the Yorkshire Evening Post.
