Regarding traffic problems.
Leeds City council make me laugh.They are the ones who have failed for many years to put any money into the infrastruture and at the time when they were receiving profits from the airport.The planners even allowed new properties to built on Harrogate road beyond the old building line so the road could never be widened. Some of these Ludite clowns even wanted the airport to be closed.They believed the airport serving Leeds should be Manchester.
