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

Fantastic service - super efficient, no nonsense, quick and communicative. I own and run a Leeds-based Estate Agency and we've tried and tested many many conveyancing solicitors and I can honestly say, Winstons (Samantha and team in particular) are amongst the best! Thanks so much for your help with my recent property sale!

I would highly recommend Winston Solicitors! I was referred by my cousin who also had a fantastic experience. I can’t thank Samantha and Joe enough for their services from day one. They made the whole house buying process feel clear and much less daunting, which I particularly appreciated buying on my own for the first time. They were very responsive and went above and beyond to ensure that I completed on the day I had hoped. The attention to detail in the enquiries was particularly appreciated. Thank you!

Was assisted by Samira Cakali cannot fault her advice one bit. Knew exactly what steps to take to ensure a quick, clean and lucrative exit. I would recommend Winstons Solicitors to anyone seeking advice or action regarding employment law.

Winston’s were easy to engage and provided clear and transparent information on the process and upfront costs. Once engaged they were responsive and simple to work with. In particular Sidraa was excellent to work with, she was quick to respond and helpful. I was very appreciative of the efficiency and pace with which we progressed.

I found Winstons to be a highly professional, efficient and compassionate firm of solicitors. The original estimate of fees for dealing with a complex probate matter including the sale of a property and dealing with inheritance tax proved to be very close to the final amount charged. At all stages throughout the process I was kept well informed of progress and was consulted whenever necessary. All correspondence was polite and pertinent, and my wishes were acted upon promptly. I would have no hesitation in recommending Winstons to others and would readily use their services myself in the future should the need arise.
