Leeds City Council and the Heritage Lottery Fund have launched a new project to invest more than £2m in the lower Kirkgate area of the city.
'We have so many wonderful listed buildings and beautiful historic places in the centre of Leeds, and it is important we keep these alive, while also making sure any disused buildings are brought back into use for any businesses that may wish to come into the city,' said executive board member for the economy, Cllr Richard Lewis.
