Looking at Google Maps, I noticed that the road I've always known as 'South Parkway Approach' now appears to be called 'Wykebeck Way': http://goo.gl/maps/oIS32Bing Maps still lists it as 'South Parkway Approach': http://binged.it/19bORzEI wasn't aware of the change and wondered if it had been officially announced, or if it's a slip on Google given the cycle path alongside Wyke Beck (betwixt Roundhay park and Temple Newsam) appears to have acquired this name ? Bear in mind that Google has the nearby Selby Road incorrectly shown as the A6120 as well as the correct B6159...

Odd, when you Google map search South Parkway approach it brings up Wykebeck Way also. I guess its Google mis-labelling it.

Google isn't always reliable - for ages the Central Library appeared to be on South Parade for example. That's partially why they've introduced the edit facility.
