OFF THEIR LEEDS
Protesters occupied the council chamber at Leeds City Council on Wednesday (23rd), disrupting a meeting deciding the fate of local public services.
Around 50 protesters stormed the chamber mid-debate before staging a sit/lie in on the floor. The council’s axe sharpening was held up for 90 minutes before resuming behind closed doors. They were debating the proposal to slash £90million from the council budget and chop 1,500 jobs.
