A key Leeds city centre route is set to remain shut this week.

Sections of Kirkgate and Harper Street in Leeds city centre have been closed off since a dilapidated building collapsed last month (April 12).

Now, the closure which was initially due to be lifted from Sunday (May 5), looks set to be extended for an unspecified period of time.
