00:00Is Leeds missing anything? If Leeds could have anything that you can think of that it doesn't yet have, what would you suggest?
00:06I would suggest, and there's not much, but I would suggest more public transport and not just more buses.
00:12Trams would be absolutely great, obviously we used to have them round here, obviously Terminus is, that's where it's named after the Terminus of the old tram stop.
00:19But train links and that sort of thing in Leeds, trams, I think that would be, that would make it sort of top draw.
00:26If there was something in Leeds that you could have that's missing in Leeds,
00:29what would that be? Is there anything that you can think of that the city needs?
00:36I'm sure I've thought this before and can't remember.
00:41Better public transport. Oh god yeah, better public transport. Roller coasters.
00:46Massive outdoor swimming pool. Yeah, some good swimming would be nice, but then it is also very cold all the time.
00:53I've been asking people, if there's one thing you'd like to see in Leeds that perhaps is missing from the city at the moment,
00:58what would that be? Whether it's shops, improvements to transport, whatever you can think of.
01:03Definitely improvements in transport. I could also do with more big food and drink halls, but thankfully White Locks are opening one very soon this year.
01:13Where's that? Whitecloth Hall behind the Corn Exchange in Leeds.
01:16If there was something that you could have in Leeds that is missing at the moment,
01:20what would that be? Any shops or perhaps improvements to transport?
01:25Improvements to transport, yeah. Buses need to be sorted out.
01:28That's the main thing for you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Certainly the buses from Eymord and also buses that go across from Headingley to East Leeds.
01:36The 91 is probably the worst bus ever. Are you a regular user of public transport?
01:40Yes, because I've got my bus pass. I would make all bus travel free.
