If Leeds wants to rival other big cities it needs a proper Christmas market

Maybe Leeds doesn't want to rival Manchester as a Christmas tourist destination. But seriously, I imagine the folks at Leeds City Council, who cancelled the German Christmas Market for the third year running, would very much like to see their counterparts at Manchester City Council quivering in their Santa boots.

But no Christkindlmarkt – to use its proper name – makes Leeds feel like a second division city. It means fewer non-Leodensians will be spending money in Leeds in the run-up to Christmas when Leeds businesses need the trade more than ever. It means Leodensians will be jumping on trains to Manchester or York, which also has an internationally renowned Christmas market, rather than spending money in their own city.

The pessimist in me says Leeds City Council will be faced with the same miserable choice next year. Will the erstwhile highlight of the city's social calendar inevitably be thrown unceremoniously into an unmarked grave? Will it become a tear-jerking memory of a happier, wealthier time?

That’s the problem, Leeds councillors and MP’s have zero ambition. Voted down investment in the airport (while MAN just completed a £1bn expansion) and now they decided against even having a German market. They’re a pathetic bunch that should be heavily criticised!!

A Christmas market doesn’t make a city better 🤬
