Police have objected to plans for a ’36-hour’ street party during Leeds’ West Indian Carnival later this year.
Under a licensing application submitted to the city council, part of Francis Street in Chapeltown would host a do for up to 200 people during the carnival, on the August bank holiday weekend.
The carnival, which is Europe’s longest-running annual celebration of Caribbean culture, is one of Leeds’ most vibrant and popular events, drawing tens of thousands to Chapeltown and Harehills every year.
