I can sympathise. Apparently the idea was to stop rat running through the maze and "cutting the corner" to avoid the bottle neck on Otley Road. Our councillors do love the car, don't they? I pity anyone from out of town who tries to get from one side of the city centre to the other by following road signs which suddenly become non-existent.

I picture our civic leaders going home at night in a fleet of luxury helicopters, smirking at the chaos below.

The maze is still a free for all, the only permit area is at the top of Headingley Mount around Beckett's Park and then only until 6 pm Monday to Friday and also only between certain months which escape me at the moment. It's basically term time, I'll pay attention next time and PM you.

my understanding to the maze is , i live locally to it and dont agree with it , is ash road residents association pushed it through with the help of liberal councillors , highways and planning had reservations about the scheme but it was voted through and is now permanent , a few years ago ash road residents association wanted a total closure of headingley mount , that wouldhave ben fun !!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, they really wanted to do that? As you say, that would be a recipe for chaos. I got the impression that the maze was largely inhabited by students anyway. There must be enough local NIMBY's left to make a difference.

What I'd really like to know is how that green monstrosity on the cricket ground was given planning permission but we can't replace the South Stand like-for-like.

Park at my place if you like.
