Leeds BBQ area plans scrapped

Plans to create a special barbecue area in Leeds are set to be scrapped.

The executive board at Leeds City Council says that parks watch officers have been successful in preventing barbecue activity through enforcing byelaws and this will continue as an alternative to creating a designated trial area at Woodhouse Moor in the Hyde Park area of the city.

The use of barbecues is banned in Woodhouse Moor and other parks in the Leeds area but this has not prevented people in the past and has prompted the council to take action to try and resolve the problem. The increased presence of park watch officers is thought to be behind new figures which suggest a falling off in barbecue activity in parks from April to May.

The plans for a special area reserved for barbecues has been fiercely criticised by local groups with opponents saying the area was too big and that it would spoil the natural appearance of the park. They were also concerned about the increase in litter and the possibility of more anti-social behaviour.

Client feedback

Very efficient and very pleasant to deal with, highly recommended

Despite a protected sale, Sidraa & Tom were the consummate professionals and kept everything on track

I was dreading the probate process after my husband sadly died earlier this year. Friends who had been in the same situation warned me it could take months or even years. I didn't even know what it involved, it was a complete mystery to me!Thank good ness for Emily Spencer at Winston solicitors who talked me through the whole process and told me what information I needed to complete the paperwork. Emails and phone queries were answered very promptly and once I'd submitted all the figures the grant of probate was applied for by Emily and was returned within a few weeks, not months! Great result and nothing like the trauma I was anticipating.

We used Winston's (Samantha) for our house sale & purchase. Very impressed with her dealings with us, keeping us up to date with progress and always happy to answer any questions we had. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Colleagues who asisted her, were equally helpful. Would have no hesitation in using them again or recommend the firm. First class service.

I cannot recommend Winston's highly enough. My case in question was extremely long, convoluted and complex. Yet Winston's and in particular Harriet Reid and Emily Bell, proved to be more than up to the task. Sticking to and sifting through the facts and presenting the evidence, despite volumes of irrelevant information being thrown at them. The results achieved in court, were a true testament to their skill dedication, knowledge and understanding of the subject at hand.
