Our vision for Leeds is to be a city where you don’t need a car to get around

You may have seen some peculiar robots on the streets of Adel and Tinshill in Leeds. We are trying to reduce the number of short journeys made by car, including those made by delivery vehicles. This pilot, ran in partnership with Starship Technologies and Co-op Food, is aimed at providing a zero-carbon alternative to grocery deliveries to some of Leeds' residents.

As a local resident we want to hear your thoughts on the Starship robots. You can find out more about why we're trialling the scheme below, whilst also providing feedback on the robots.

The trial will run from 30th November 2022 until 28 February 2023 but may be extended if successful.
