New Briggate Leeds: Work starts on major transformation of one of city centre's most historic streets

Leeds City Council and Historic England have joined forces to regenerate New Briggate as part of a new programme that will see street café seating in a pedestrianised area, more cycling facilities and resurfacing.

The ‘New Briggate High Street Heritage Action Zone’ has already seen grant funding go towards repairs to shops opposite Leeds Grand Theatre, which is expected to take five months to complete.
