Good morning Leeds.
This afternoon I'll be live blogging from The Round Foundry in Holbeck Urban Village at the Tales of Our City unconference, which promises to be an interesting event. Questions such as what would you like to see happen to help Leeds become the best it can be? How can we achieve that? What - really - is Leeds? Will all be asked.
Before then I'll be filing about yesterday's plans meeting from Leeds Civic Hall, last night's launch of Art in Unusual Places latest exhibition at Leeds Shopping Plaza and you usual Friday councillors' round-up.
