00:00Leeds City Council has sent proposals to the Department for Transport to charge companies for carrying out works on the city's busiest roads during the busiest times.
00:11The Council is looking to introduce a Leeds Lane rental scheme on around 10% of its road network to help reduce the impact of road works by charging as much as £2,500 per day if they are undertaken during the busiest times.
00:27The scheme is designed to encourage companies to schedule works outside of the busiest times and to collaborate or adopt more efficient ways of working to reduce travel times and delays.
00:40The scheme would also potentially raise revenue which will be reinvested into upgrading and maintaining our roads.
