Leeds headlines 29 September: Grieving father’s road safety plea

Transcript

00:00 Three stories in brief, and a bereaved father, whose 12-year-old daughter was killed in a

00:06 car crash in 2008, has pleaded with drivers to just follow the rules of the road. Alice

00:12 Greenwood died after her mum's car was hit as they drove back to West Yorkshire from

00:16 a holiday. Her father, Ian Greenwood, was speaking about road safety at a recent council

00:21 scrutiny meeting. The council made a Vision Zero pledge last year which aims to eradicate

00:26 all road deaths in Leeds by 2040. Next, plans for an Oriental supermarket to build a separate

00:33 basement cafe by Leeds University have been approved. Taste the Orient will now extend

00:39 their Blenheim Terrace venue. And finally, an extremely rare £5 note which was printed

00:45 over 120 years ago could fetch as much as £16,000 when it goes up for auction. It was

00:50 first issued at a Leeds bank.
