WSP鈥檚 contract extension from Leeds City Council comes after more than 20 years supporting the council鈥檚 highways and transport services.
Through the renewed agreement, WSP will continue providing a range of technical and consultancy services across transport policy, traffic management, highway maintenance and reconstruction, highway structures, street lighting, civil engineering design, geotechnical services, flood risk management and wider engineering support.
WSP鈥檚 relationship with Leeds dates back to 2003, with teams working together on transport and infrastructure projects over two decades. The collaboration has been strengthened by long-term secondments into council teams, co-location arrangements and embedded specialists who work alongside council staff to support day to day delivery.
Past projects delivered through the partnership include the replacement of the Regent Street flyover, public realm improvements at locations such as the Corn Exchange, and upgrades to facilities like the Stourton Park & Ride.
Over the next four years, WSP鈥檚 focus will be on the council鈥檚 Connecting Leeds Transport Strategy.
WSP director Nav Gahonia said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e proud to continue our long standing partnership with Leeds City Council. This extension reflects our shared commitment to delivering high quality infrastructure that supports the city鈥檚 ambitions and serves communities across Leeds. We look forward to continuing to provide technical expertise, capacity and collaborative support as the Council progresses its transport priorities.鈥�
