Thanks Gareth, should have known you had been on top of everything!! Have you seen the proposed plan for Sheepscar from the 1960s which was a free flowing car junction?

...surface levels not as issue. Sheepscar needs most of that tarmac removing because it's a car-centric horror show, but it's irrelevant here because we're going under it.
EW and NS tunnels that meet at City railway station are the cornerstone of the plan in Leeds.

So given it represented a big diversion eastwards, I had to prioritise Sheepscar on those measures, as well as land value capture to pay for it.

Leeds uni as a receptor already creates a relatively low volume of cars, i.e. staff and students mostly walk and take the bus. So given it represented a big diversion eastwards, I had to prioritise Sheepscar on those measures, as well as land value capture to pay for it.

Sheepscar for example and a road maze to overcome. I live near Chapel Allerton hospital so naturally would love for a tram or some other form of MRT to come up my way, but it'll either have to be underground or in the air based on the obstacles in the way, and we do have 14 buses an hour into town.

Warning No Longer in Force for Meanwood Beck at Buslingthorpe and Sheepscar
Warning No Longer in Force for Meanwood Beck at Buslingthorpe and Sheepscar
River levels have peaked and are falling on Meanwood Beck following heavy rainfall earlier this evening, Thursday 5th December. No further significant rainfall is expected overnight and river levels are expected to continue to fall into tomorrow morning and therefore this Flood Warning is no longer in force.
A Flood Alert remains in force for the wider area and flooding of roads and low lying land is still possible, therefore please avoid using low lying footpaths and roads near local watercourses.
Further rainfall and strong winds associated with Storm Darragh are forecast from tomorrow afternoon and into Saturday which may cause further river response. We are closely monitoring the situation and will re-issue this Flood Warning if necessary.

Curious about average flow rate for Meanwood Beck (EA just measures level). Mean velocity is easy (pingpong ball, tape measure, watch), but I can't figure out how to get average width * depth for this (irregular) stretch (channelled bit at Sheepscar would be a doddle...)

I only live in Moortown. If it wasn't for Sheepscar being an utter pedestrian nightmare and the time taken, I'd walk.

For the last few weeks there's been a couple camped during the day off the Sheepscar Interchange in Leeds and I haven't been able to see what their cause is.
Well as an Irishwoman of a certain age I feel quite at home now, as they're anti-abortionists.
I mean, jaysis. Why bother? And why there?
