1983 saw the end of free parking in the city centre. Under the controversial scheme drivers would buy 10p parking books from shops, council offices and petrol stations, allowing them to park in a specific area of the city. The future of Roundhay Park was secured for future generations after it was declared a conservation area. And it was also a year MPs rejected a Bill which would allow all shops to open for trade on Sundays. Enjoy these photo memories charting a year in the life of your city.
