First Bus Leeds are undertaking a review of their services through Headingley, including the 1, 6, 19/19A, 28, 29, 56, 97 and X84. They have stated that they recognise the need for improvements to the reliability and punctuality of these services, particularly given the impact of congestion through Headingley. The outcomes of the review might include changes to the bus routes or frequencies.

They are collecting views on the services via an online survey and at local drop-in events. The Headingley drop-in is at the Heart Centre on Bennett Road, Tuesday 21st March, 16:00-18:30. But if you can’t make that event, there is a list of other nearby times and venues on their website.

Headingley campaigner Penny Goodman said:

I am pleased to see this consultation going ahead, as I know many people locally are frustrated with the current state of the bus services. I would urge all local residents to fill in the survey or attend a drop-in event, to make sure that First Bus really understand what we want from our public transport.
