Leeds City Council

A planning application has been submitted for a ‘container village’ attraction at Leeds Kirkgate Market, marking a major milestone for a scheme that aims to add a vibrant new element to the city’s leisure offer.

Efforts by Leeds City Council's highways teams to restore the city’s roads following the challenging weather have seen the pothole repair rate almost triple in the first three months of 2026. 

A new seasonal sculptural spectacular will see stunning works by world-renowned artists go on show in Leeds this summer, it was announced today.
