Neighbours of Leeds Rhinos’ Headingley ground are fighting plans to host more music and boxing events at the venue.
Stadium bosses have applied to Leeds City Council for a licence to hold up to four events per year, outside of its usual sporting activities. But 35 local people have objected, with many citing anti-social behaviour and chaos from previous music and boxing dates at the rugby ground.
That includes the six local Labour councillors representing the Headingley and Kirkstall wards, plus one from the neighbouring Weetwood ward. A public hearing next Tuesday will decide whether or not the licence is granted.
