Work to tackle congestion on a city centre road could get underway in 2019.

It says the proposals would improve the road for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists.
Coun Matthew Morley, cabinet member for transport and highways, said: “I am pleased that we have started feasibility work to develop options for the £4m scheme for Ings Road.
"Improvements to the road will help to tackle congestion in this part of the city.
