Plans to allow a weekend-long music festival to take place in east Leeds have been heavily criticised by police and Leeds City Council officers, who worry for public safety if it goes ahead.
Applicants Mint Festival Ltd want permission to hold the annual Mint music festival on Newsom Green Farm in Pontefract Lane for the weekend-long event this coming September.
Organisers insist the event would be organised responsibly and cause “minimal impact” on locals.
