There was a demonstration today outside the Civic Hall as Leeds City Council met to decide on this years budget. 

The Council meeting was to decide the fate of Leeds Crisis Centre, Leisure Centres, Adult Social Care and other services.

To stop these cuts being pushed through the Council chambers have been occupied.

The occupiers have asked (by text) for support and entered the building at around 1:30pm today (Wednesday).

I was there and after the call out ealrlier in the week expected more to be. It's hard to expect the council to regard there beiing strong opposition to the cust when so few turn up to a demo.
