As Leeds enjoys summer temperatures, park visitors are reminded that barbecues are not permitted in the city’s parks, to protect the parks and their wildlife.

With up to 60,000 pedestrians on Briggate and surrounding pedestrianised streets every day, Leeds City Council has continued to receive reports from the public that the volume and speed of delivery cyclists on large e-bikes is making them feel unsafe.

People across Leeds are being encouraged to get involved in White Ribbon Day and the 16 Days of Activism, an annual international campaign that calls for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls.

Further action is being taken to tackle anti-social behaviour in Leeds city centre with the renewal of a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO).
