Leeds city centre is in no short supply of student flats, with an abundance of historic buildings developed in recent years and more on the way.
Plans have been announced to rip down Briggate’s House of Fraser for a student build. Plus there’s plans to convert the former Victoria and Commercial Hotel and the old Masonic Hall next door, both stand opposite Leeds Town Hall.
A cleaner in the Merrion Centre spoke of how “rude” many of the students can be as he sees more and more of the young people walking through the city-centre. Patrick Bogle, 59, father-of-one, has said he’s tried to put them right but to no avail.
