In a welcome boost however, Stanningley Road and Armley Ridge Road will reopen from Tuesday evening following a week long closure. As a result the 14 service will return to its regular route.

A key stretch of Lower Briggate has also completely reopened following a temporary closure last week, as has the Aberford Road/M1 Roundabout, Garforth following resurfacing works.
