Neil Garry

Dear Mrs. Williamson Inquest touching on the death of Neil Layne Garry (deceased) - Regulation 28. I refer to your letter dated 26th October regarding the death of Mr Neil Layne Garry following a road traffic collision at the junction of Ramshead Approach/ A6120 Ring Road, Seacroft, Leeds. We have been working to design a scheme which provides safe pedestrian assisted facilities across the Ring Road at this location and the neighbouring Coal Road junction. Due to the close proximity of these heavily used junctions we have been considering options which will ensure that these two junctions can operate efficiently and effectively at all times, including meeting the needs of pedestrians. These design considerations have been concluded and a final layout has been confirmed, which will be compatible with proposed future improvements planned at the Coal Road/ Ring Road junction and also longer term aspirations along this strategic corridor. A Highways Board report is to be presented to the Chief Officer (Highways and Transportation) early in the New Year to seek formal funding approval to progress the junction improvement measures at the Ramshead Approach/ Ring Road junction. It is currently programmed that the scheme will then be issued to our contractors in this financial year, with an expected completion date onsite between May/June 2016.
