00:00The cost of carrying out delayed repairs on an historic street in Leeds has risen by more than
00:06£260,000. Leeds City Council is set to award a contract worth £680,000 for urgent maintenance
00:15on Lower Kirkgate, one of the city's oldest streets. The road near the Corn Exchange has
00:21been closed to traffic since April 2024, when one of the 18th century buildings partially caved in.
00:28The expected cost has increased after surveys and the work is expected to take 20 weeks starting
00:35from next month. The Council is planning to recover the repair costs after issuing an urgent
00:41works notice on the private owners.
