An unfathomable decision

A Leeds City Council decision to reject a gift from the British Shakespeare Company has been admonished by local Labour party figures.

Councillor John Procter, the Conservative Councillor for Wetherby and Executive Member for Leisure rejected a full size replica of the Rose Theatre used in the Oscar winning film "Shakespeare in Love".

In letters to the Yorkshire Evening Post, John Liversedge, member of Kirkstall Valley Community Association questioned the process behind Cllr. Procter's decision, while Rachel described the decision as unfathomable, particularly after the popularity of the recent open air Shakespearean plays at Kirkstall Abbey.
