Leeds City Council says it has reported the vandalism of the new parking meters to police.

Council say tree needs to be cut down to allow repair work to be carried out on bridge footway.

Leeds City Council had planned to cut down the tree on Friday morning, ahead of repair work.

The 180-year-old tree is due to be cut down on Friday to make way for repairs to a bridge.

Council says temporary traffic lights are in place because protestors won't let them fell tree.

People opposing the plan fear it will worsen anti-social behaviour on the Otley Run drinking route.

The road is currently shut in both directions between Pool in Wharfedale and Otley, police say.

Avant Homes wants to build on land between Menston and Otley.
