00:00 Three stories in brief, and Leeds motorists have been urged to plan ahead for essential
00:06 maintenance being made to the New York Road tunnel on the Leeds Inner Ring Road. It will
00:10 be closed from the 12th of February until the autumn, and you can search 'Leeds Plan
00:14 Ahead' for diversion details.
00:17 Next, eight former Leeds councillors have received one of the highest civic honours
00:22 the city can bestow. The group of former councillors from across the political spectrum have 170
00:28 years of public service between them, and they've now become honorary aldermen and
00:32 alderwomen.
00:33 And finally, a unique gift exchanged by two former Lord Mayors of Leeds more than 120
00:39 years ago could help the city with unprecedented budget challenges. The sale of the U1 number
00:45 plate used on the Lord Mayor's civic vehicle is currently being explored to help bridge
00:50 a £58.4 million financial gap.
