PROGRESS


EAST LEEDS ORBITAL ROUTE


Plans for the East Leeds Orbital Route would enable the construction of major new road infrastructure with green space, cycling and pedestrian facilities to support the development of 5,000 new homes planned in the Whinmoor, Swarcliffe and Manston areas. The overall cost of the ELOR package is estimated at £126m.


HS2 CONNECTIVITY


Leeds South Bank refers to regenerating 185 hectares of land that lies south of the River Aire in Leeds. The regeneration will help to double the size of Leeds city centre; it is due to provide over 35,000 jobs and over 4,000 homes and it will be ideally located with the access through the proposed HS2.


WELLINGTON PLACE


HMRC are due to occupy 378,000 sq ft at Wellington Place on a 25-year lease. The deal will lead to 6,000 civil servants working in state-of-the-art new city centre premises in 2020. Including existing occupiers, the new additional employees will grow the community to almost 10,000.


CHANNEL 4


This landmark decision is a sign of confidence in the city and city region’s success. Across the city region, almost 53,000 people work in the creative industries. Film and TV companies in Yorkshire have an annual turnover of £242m and the sector here is growing at a faster rate than the national average.
