Party spirits are dampened by council

A Halloween house party looks set to be cancelled after the council and police were spooked by the idea.

- 

A formal notice was issued to prevent the event happening at a property in Burley Road after concerns were raised over public nuisance.

The organisers first applied to host up to 200 people and serve drinks until 4am, then reduced the capacity to 120.

But permission for a temporary event notice (TEN) was still refused when a licensing subcommittee considered the proposal.

West Yorkshire Police served a formal objection notice to the planned event in the busy student area on November 1.
