A councillor has called for on-the-spot fines to be handed out to 'nuisance' Otley Run drinkers - adding that middle-aged groups 'reliving their youth' are responsible for issues

Speaking at a public scrutiny meeting on Thursday, Labour’s Councillor Walshaw said: “In the Weetwood, Headingley and Hyde Park wards we have the joys of the Otley Run.“But actually we do need to take it seriously, because over the last three or four years and particularly since we came out of lockdown, the Otley Run has got larger and much more intense.”

He commented: “Judging from the hairlines and the waistlines it’s not undergraduates - it’s Gavin and Gary from accounts who are coming back to relive their glory days of 10 years ago. Claire Smith, head of safer neighbourhoods and anti-social behaviour at Leeds City Council, said the authority was leading a “targeted response” to the nuisance.“We’ve noticed there has been quite an increase and it’s caused quite a bit of nuisance.”
