@Carl Collins No one should camp on anyone else drive. Councillors voting for cycle lanes by reducing road capacity could be required to travel by cycle for journeys around Leeds.

Leeds the city where the leaders don't want people to need a car to travel and due to years of budget cuts fewer or no buses in some areas. Leeds is the largest city without mass transit system such as trams in Europe and Leeds didn't keep many of its railway stations from the era of Beeching cuts and scrapped trams in 1959 to become the motorway city. Leeds has a long history of trying to get a mass transit system such as a planned underground system scrapped by Labour in 1945 and Super Tram system scrapped by an Labour Edinburgh Chancellor due to £1 billion cost who allowed funding for a similar system for Edinburgh for a similar cost. Leeds has trialled systems for congestion zones in the early 2010s by building cameras on yellow overhead gantries but these were scrapped and removed. The failed trolleybus was rightly scrapped because Leeds needs both an underground system and tram network. Leeds was criticised in the past for having cycle lanes that started and ended going no where for a few metres in length.
