    Actively asking to be put under curfew doesn't make sense at all. Especially when that approach is made without the knowledge of any Leeds businesses that would be directly affected.

    Considering there's round tables and dialogue between most councils and businesses, especially at that micro council level, why would you go behind their back and ask for a curfew that so severely impacts on the business community you're meant to be looking out for. That's without even going in to what the benefits of the curfew are and if a city even needs one.

    Haven't looked at numbers but it appears as though Leeds numbers are creeping up towards those of other cities under curfew?

    Creeping up maybe. But if you're going to have cities clamouring for curfews at the first sign of a creep in numbers then you're not far off a national lockdown anyway. Backwards behaviour that was thankfully rejected.

    Obviously just my opinion. But as I'm close to many Leeds business owners I've got skin in the game on this one.

    Until the majority of folks actually follow advice we have no chance.
    Yes the government have been no help but a lot of people are not using basic common sense.
    For instance just watching the news and groups of Tottenham fans stood just to pointlessly wave Bale into their training ground, zero distancing not a fking mask amongst them.
    Instances like this repeated up and down the country and too many folk just using ‘confusing guidelines’ as an excuse to be selfish and in many cases just being plain stupid!

    I make my living 2/3's out of weddings & parties & 1/3 out of clubs. The clubs are finished & the wedding industry will be also, if it isn't allowed to resume March / April. That is about half a million jobs gone.

    the council has to pick a lot of the work up so they probably just don’t have the funding or capacity.
