00:00A Leeds city centre street could see its pavement widened under plans aimed at supporting businesses
00:06and improving safety. The proposal for cross Belgrave Street would expand the western footway,
00:12allowing more space for pedestrians and potential pavement cafes.
00:17Leeds City Council says traders backed the idea after temporary widening during the COVID pandemic
00:23helped hospitality venues continue trading. A council report says the changes could
00:30strengthen the street's night-time economy. Funding of around £190,000 would be sought
00:37from West Yorkshire Combined Authority. If that fails, the scheme would not proceed until alternative
00:42funding secured.
