Have say on Leeds' future
IS Leeds heading in the right direction?
People across the city who care about its future will have the chance to answer this question and give their views on the subject at a meeting later this month.
Leeds might be the top financial centre after London, with universities attracting thousands of students and a booming retail quarter but some residents, academics and businesspeople are concerned at the price the city might have paid for its success – with the Corn Exchange losing many much-loved independent shops, uncertainty for Kirkgate Market traders and worries over the growing number of city-centre flats. Academics at the University of Leeds and Leeds Metropolitan University have organised the event at the Rupert Beckett Lecture Theatre at the University of Leeds, at 6pm on February 28.
Guests will be invited to discuss the positive and negative changes taking place in the city, proposals for change, and the fact that while Leeds City Council has a major role to play the public must also have a big say.
The event is free, with drinks and nibbles afterwards. For more information email whorunsleeds@leeds.ac.uk
