    Plans to create a new joint service managing all traffic signalling in West Yorkshire will be considered by senior councillors in Leeds.

    A proposal to merge together existing traffic management services into a single system run from Leeds will be discussed by Leeds City Council’s executive board at its meeting at Civic Hall on Wednesday 17 October.

    Currently Leeds, Bradford, Kirklees and Wakefield all operate their own traffic signalling management services, with Calderdale’s service being managed by Leeds City Council. Under the proposal all these services would combine into a single West Yorkshire Urban Traffic Management and Control (UTMC) service for the region, based at the West Yorkshire Joint Services building in Morley.
