Leeds Bradford Corridor
Leeds Bradford Corridor
The Leeds/Bradford Corridor project is an exciting new partnership between these two major cities. It will revitalise the neighbourhoods, employment opportunities, environment and transport links in the corridor, connecting people living there to the growing economies in the two cities. The project will build on the growing linkages between the two cities and the objectives of the Northern Way strategy to boost the economies in the north of England.
Successful regeneration and new affordable homes will be delivered in the context of a wider, developing plan. There will be a number of complementary strands co-ordinated to deliver ambitious housing, economic and transport outcomes in the longer term. There will be RHB investment of £5m 2008-11 in Laisterdyke, Bradford plus potential Northern Housing Challenge investment in 605 affordable homes for rent and sale in the Corridor area.
The overall package includes three other interventions under the Northern Housing Challenge theme, which will also capture investment by local authorities, the RHB, Yorkshire Forward, English Partnerships and the private sector. These agencies will work in partnership to deliver affordable homes connected to economic opportunities and growth in Leeds, Batley and Pontefract.
