As residents will know, this area has become unkept and overgrown
Two issues have been identified in the process of resolving this.
Firstly, the land was not placed onto a maintenance contract post roadworks. This is now being resolved and will be assigned to a contact.
Secondly, it appears the contractor for the roadworks may not have removed the weed contaminated spoiled soil, hence the vigorous nature of the overgrowth.
Highways Leeds are now seeing if the work needed to remove this soil can be claimed under the contractor defect process as it will be expensive to fix.
If this is not resolved, the growth will be hard to manage in the long-term as the weeds will just grow back again and again.
I will keep residents updated
