It costs just £10 to join the new #bikehub @LeedsMarkets . That gives you free, secure cycle parking 7.30am to 6pm, until 2 October. For non-members, it's just £1 a day to store your bike there. Or hire one for free! @CityConnect1 @Leeds_City_Ctr

Great progress being made so far on Cookridge St. 👏 We’re creating a new, more attractive public space that will offer more seating, greenery & a new cycle path. 🌳 Permanently closing this road to traffic will allow this area to become a hub for outdoor events and activities
