Yes No If yes, name(s) of ward(s): Beeston & Holbeck Has consultation been carried out? Yes No Are there implications for equality and diversity and cohesion and Yes No integration?

Yes No If relevant, access to information procedure rule number: 10.4(3) Appendix number: 2, 3 & 4 Summary 1. Main issues Channel 4’s decision to relocate its national headquarters to Leeds has provided a catalyst to the city’s growing Film / TV sector. Following the announcement there has been significant interest in Channel 4’s proposals and a renewed confidence in the sector from existing TV / Film companies, emerging businesses and others wishing to relocate or create new satellite offices in the city. The spark provided by Channel 4 has resulted in several new investments including post-production facilities, new training and skills initiatives and a growing spotlight on the Leeds creative economy. Providing a new studio is one of five transformational projects set out in the Leeds Inclusive Growth Strategy and fits with the aims of the Best Council Plan. Further to the update provided at November’s Executive Board, the Council is taking a proactive stance to help maximise our inclusive growth ambitions for the city linked to Channel 4’s decision.

    Friday Jan. 26th 1968 UNION NEWS No. 341 Price 3d. LEEDS SLAM MARTIN IN NUS SELL OUT NO LET-UP YET FOR GRANTS a stormy three hour emergency meeting of NUS on Wednesday, it was established, with reservations, that the NUS student grant campaign should go ahead as planned. But not before Geoffrey Martin, President of NUS, had asked students to accept the 50% cut in the student grant increase unconditionally, whilst seeking to iron out certain anomalies in the educational system. Jack Straw, Vice-President of NUS, called this “a most unwise statement” and the move “tactically unsound.” An NUS delegation will meet the Minister of Education on February 1st. The general feeling of the meeting was the anomalies should be eliminated and action taken on a broader front involving all sections of the community which were affected.

  • Race and Disorder: Addressing Social Disadvantages Through State Regeneration in a Multi-Ethnic Community in Leeds
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Northumbria Research Link Race and Disorder: Addressing Social Disadvantages through State Regeneration in a Multi-Ethnic Community in Leeds Oluwarotimi Osidipe A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Northumbria at Newcastle for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2011 Abstract This thesis critically examines governmental responses to physical and social disorder in inner-city neighbourhoods through urban regeneration policies. Through an exploration of historical, social and political narratives on urban areas, the thesis identifies that the concept of dangerous places and faces has been a dominant discourse and feature in Britain for the past 200 years. Using Chapeltown, Leeds as a case study, this thesis explores the urban regeneration interventions in this area. Chapeltown is selected because it is, historically, a community with a high population of minority ethnic people and immigrants. Thus, „race‟ and racism, and a critique of public policies as they affect UK Black and minority ethnic communities are the primary concerns of this thesis. It is argued that the tools of urban regeneration aimed at tackling physical and social disorder such as partnership, participation and community involvement/engagement are mere „rhetorical devices‟ that are out of sync with normative standards of citizenship and fairness. The thesis has adopted a case study research methodology. It argues that for social and physical disorder to be tackled, there is the need to consider how the concept of citizenship should be the central issue in urban regeneration policies.
