Speaking at a community committee meeting of south Leeds councillors, he said: “Wide Lane is one of the main arteries into Morley.“Letters didn’t arrive for some people until two days before the work started. Some haven’t received letters at all.”Coun Newton said the lack of notice had caused upset, with some bus passengers having bought monthly passes because they were unaware of the disruption to come.
