Leeds locals pick city-centre bugbears they want banned | OneFootball

Leeds residents have highlighted the city centre habits and vehicles they would most like to see curbed or removed.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, delivery bikes topped the complaints. Readers cited pavement riding and bikes weaving through crowds, and the council is moving forward with plans to ban them from the city centre.

Bikes and e-scooters ridden through pedestrian areas were another frequent gripe. Readers said they can make busy pavements feel less safe.

Although already illegal, visible drug use and the smell of cannabis drew calls for tougher enforcement in public spaces frequented by visitors, workers and residents.

Some wanted protests and marches barred because of disruption. Others argued the city centre remains an important place to be heard.

Street preaching also divided opinion, with objections to loud sermons and amplified speakers in crowded spots.

Buses and taxis were a surprise inclusion, with some questioning access on congested central streets or calling for tighter rules in pedestrian-heavy areas.
