Showdown over 'negative' parking charges

City leaders will be asked to suspend parking charges at Leeds beauty spots when councillors debate the issue.

- 

The “negative impact” of charges at parks including Roundhay and Golden Acre will be discussed at a Leeds City Council meeting.

Alan Lamb, leader of the city’s Conservative group, has tabled a motion against the charges, introduced in February this year.

The council has said the charges would fund better facilities at the parks and help address a million pound budget gap.
