Leeds today - binge drinking, schools and morris dancers


Hope you had a good bank holiday weekend. There's a busy week ahead, at the end of which we'll find out who's going to be running the country, who's going to be running Leeds council and, perhaps more importantly depending on your perspective, will Leeds United finally win automatic promotion?
The Friends of Kirkgate Market start planning their future strategy to help save the market tonight at 5.30pm at the Victoria Pub in Great George Street. All welcome to attend. Later today, I'll be running a full preview of the Leeds council elections on Thursday. Speaking of elections, there's a real political hoo-ha of the future of the West Park Centre in North West Leeds, which I'll be filing copy on shortly. And you can also pin down the green aspirations of prospective parliamentary candidates in all Leeds constituencies thanks to an online initiative run by coalition of green groups in Leeds. Full story to follow. Oh, and in case you hadn't noticed, there's a general (and local) election this week! Energy efficiency and water saving could be on the curriculum for University of Leeds students at the newly unveiled £23m School of Earth and Environment building, reports Big Green Smile.com.
Harewood has once again proved why it is one of the area's most popular visitor attractions, as its 100 acres of stunning gardens are voted the top in a national competition to find the UK's favourite gardens to visit by BBC Gardner's World magazine.
