Last night (26 April 2021) South Leeds Life hosted an online hustings meeting as part of our local elections coverage.
All the candidates standing in the ward were invited to attend and take questions from our readers. Subjects covered included: the Managed Approach to street sex work in Holbeck; cycle lanes; Low Traffic Neighbourhood proposed for Cross Flatts; prioritising residents interests over party policies and more.
You can watch the whole meeting here:
