Leeds City Council has announced it will no longer pursue the idea of introducing parking charges at the city's parks.
Having taken feedback from residents, the council scrapped the idea which was supposed to help produce a balanced budget as many local authorities feel the strain. The idea, proposed earlier this month, would have seen a 40p per hour charge at places like Roundhay Park, Golden Acre Park and Otley Chevin.
Leeds City Council said today it would be able to produce a balanced budget next month without the proposal. However, other options may need to be looked at in future.
