Funding to create a new ‘Central Hub’ for WY UTMC in Leeds has been approved at WYCA Investment Committee on 4th March 2021.
The new Central Hub will enable improved management of traffic on the road network across the city and is a key part of a larger scheme to improve consistency of approach to management of the KRN across West Yorkshire.
The Central Hub will also provide a dedicated space for training new engineers in a specialist discipline and the location, Leeds City Centre, will also aid future recruitment of apprentices and graduates through links with the colleges and universities.
This decision relates to approval to proceed with signing an associated Funding Agreement with WYCA and to inject the funding into the LCC Capital Programme.
