this complate rubbish thay lcc are doing to us and now we must start a protest against leeds city council and start a riot at the civic hall and held leeds labour accountable

How’s it impossible? Other cities still manage. Anyhow, the Leeds one is too small. Should do what other ‘big’ cities do and space them out, have a few here and there.

Leeds City Council = The Grinch that stole Christmas 😡

How come everywhere else is doing it?

Bullshit!!!

But we can still manage to put all the gay pride stuff on without any problems ummm

Brexit means brexit. Big thanks to all the racists out there

This is an utter joke. How much money is being spent on cycle lanes that are barely used or a bloody wall which took 10 months on Armley Road. Utter shit!

So…… brexit then? campbellclaret mrjamesob

This isnt bad thing IMO. They now need to market this as a chance for Leeds folk to start putting money into our fabulous city pubs and independent shops this Christmas. It'd make a massive difference to them.

How about a Christmas car boot instead, that shouldn’t cost much.

DebbieFishman08 That’s a pity, used to love it, when coupled with a Utd game.

Leeds city council have spunked their annual budget on digging holes in the road haven’t they. Strange how other cities are still able to put on a Xmas market….

They just need to admit it’s shit, full of the same 4 stalls repeated over 20 rows and costs a fortune to host. There are better out there and even they are shit. You’ve probably guessed I’m not a fan of ShitMas Markets.

And yet the likes of York and Manchester have no problems at all. First bonfire night and now this, Leeds City Council are an utter disgrace!

Birmingham, Chester, Cardiff, London, Bristol, Exeter, Winchester all seem to be able to manage this year :) quick Google and you’ll see!

It’s because they waste millions on other useless ideas and events!

That’s a shame.

Good.

Brexit is what they mean.

Strange how it seems to work perfectly well in other cities 🧐

It's well expensive that's why probably.
